This project performs the task of

developing an application
program which can read out an
input text typed at a source.

Process the input text to determine

where paragraphs, sentences and
other structures start and end. For
most languages, punctuation and
formatting data are used in this
stage.

Analyze the input text for special

constructs of the language. In
English, special treatment is required
for abbreviations, acronyms, dates,
times, numbers, currency amounts,
email addresses and many other
forms.

phoneme is a basic unit of sound in a
language. US English has around 45
phonemes including the consonant
and vowel sounds. Different
languages have different sets of
sounds (different phonemes).

Process the sentence structure, words

and phonemes to determine appropriate
›

 for the sentence. This includes
the pitch (or melody), the timing (or
rhythm), the pausing, the speaking
rate, the emphasis on words and many
other features.

The phonemes and prosody

information are used to produce the
audio waveform for each sentence.

of speech-
speech-enabled applications to
incorporate more sophisticated and
natural user interfaces into Java
applications and applets.

both command-
command-and-

recognizers.
m Provide a robust cross-
cross-platform, cross-
cross-vendor
interface to speech synthesis and speech
recognition.
m Enable access to state-
state-of

technology.
m Support integration with other capabilities of the
Java platform, including the suite of Java Media
APIs.
m Be simple, compact and easy to learn.

m [ith various types of given text the
TTS conversion tool will be tested for
naturalness and accuracy and
examined by linguistic experts to
achieve more correct pronunciation.
The outcomes of these examinations
shall be incorporated to the TTS.

m A new button is created by name ³Image
converter´

m This can be used to recognize the

characters of languages like Chinese,
Japanese, Mongolian.

m Each character of that language is

recognized and converted into English and
then converted into speech.

m Input text which is converted into

speech is stored as a wave file.

m Stream the audio thus obtained to a

destination, which can be any
computer in a network.
