A Recent Survey Paper on Text-To-Speech Systems

Abstract

All of us are aware of how important knowledge is and it is also true that mostly the data or knowledge is in the form of books or online articles, or various pdfs i.e. in text format. But not all of us are privileged to read. Some are illiterate, some are blind, and some have reading difficulties. Hence, a form of adaptive technology or procedure that reads digital text aloud, which is called text-to-speech (TTS) was developed. It is occasionally referred to as "read-aloud" technology. Words on a computer or other digital device can be converted into audio using TTS. TTS is particularly beneficial for all those people who have reading difficulties or are illiterate. Also, a significant amount of research has been done and is currently being done on text-to-speech technology. Various technologies, methodologies, and algorithms are used in the various proposed approaches and solutions for TTS. This research presents a systematic review of all those methods which have been proposed and implemented by different active researchers in this field.
