Text to Speech
Text to Speech
This system generates spoken Persian text corresponding to input Persian text from the user. The named system has been trained by the voices of three individuals (both male and female), creating the capability to produce speech according to personal preference and application needs. The dataset consists of approximately 120 hours of voice accompanied by text created by the voices of three people.
Some common features of Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems include:
- Naturalness: The goal of TTS systems is to produce natural-sounding speech, similar to human voice. The output quality of this system regarding naturalness is acceptable.
- Speed: TTS systems can quickly generate speech, allowing them to read large amounts of text in a short time.
- Customization: This TTS system allows users to customize the pitch, speed, and volume of synthesized speech to meet their needs.
- Integration: TTS systems can be integrated with other software and hardware such as virtual assistants, language translation software, and assistive technologies.
- Pronunciation Accuracy: This system has the desired accuracy in terms of pronouncing Persian words.
- Audio Quality: TTS systems use artificial sounds, the quality of which can vary depending on the system used. The mentioned TTS system uses sounds that have a more natural sound compared to others.
TTS technology is applied in the following areas:
Accessibility: TTS is the cornerstone of accessibility technology. It converts written content into spoken words, making digital information accessible to visually impaired individuals or those with reading difficulties. It is used in e-readers, electronic books, and other applications.
Education and E-Learning: TTS aids language learners by providing accurate pronunciation and facilitating auditory comprehension. Digital educational content, including textbooks and instructional materials, can be converted into spoken form using TTS.
Entertainment and Media: TTS can create engaging audio books, podcasts, and other audio content from written material. It can also provide alternative sounds for multimedia presentations and increase accessibility.
Language Translation: TTS plays a key role in language translation services. It converts written text into spoken words in different languages, enabling users to listen to translated content and learn correct pronunciation.
Healthcare and Assistive Devices
This technology helps individuals with speech disorders communicate effectively.
Industrial and Organizational Applications: TTS can be integrated into business applications and commercial software to enhance productivity. It can convert text-based information into spoken format, making it easier for workers to capture important data.
Navigation and Routes: TTS technology provides navigation instructions with voice guidance in apps and navigation devices, helping users find their way when driving, walking, or cycling.
