Abstract
Abstract: This paper describes the Implementation of Natural Sounding Speech Synthesizer for MarathiLanguage using English Script. The natural synthesizer is developed using unit selection on the basis ofconcatenative synthesis approach. The purpose of this synthesizer is to produce natural sound in Marathilanguage by computer. The natural Marathi words and sentences have been acquired by ‘Marathi Wordnet’because all Marathi linguists are referred Wordnet. In this system, around 28,580 syllables, natural words andsentences were used. These natural syllables have been spoken by one female speaker. The voice signals wererecorded through standard Sennheiser HD449 Wired Headphone using PRAAT tool with sampling frequency of22 KHz. The ETMS-system was tested and generated the natural output as well as waveform. The formantfrequencies (F1, F2 and F3) were also determined by MATLAB and PRAAT tools. The formant frequencies results are to be found satisfactory.
