Text-to-Speech Synthesis System for Mymensinghiya Dialect of Bangla Language

摘要

Speech is the most popular form of communication medium in everyday life. Mymensingia dialect is a dialect of Bangla language. In this paper, we have developed a text-to-speech synthesis system (TTS) for the Mymensingia dialect of Bangla language using Festival speech synthesis toolkit. We have shown here how this Mymensingia dialect is phonologically and lexically different from standard Bangla Language. An attempt is made to convert the synthetic voice of Mymensingia dialect produced from the developed TTS to standard Bangla, covering some selected prosodic features of Mymensingia.
