A Software Tool For Teaching Reading Based On Text-To-Speech Letter-To-Phoneme Rules

چکیده
Native speakers of English who are good readers can “sound out” words or names from printed text, even if they have never seen them before, although they may not be conscious of the strategies they use. No tools are available today that can convey that knowledge to learners, showing them the rules that apply in English text. We have adapted the letter-to-phoneme component of a text-to-speech synthesizer to a web-based software system that can teach word decoding to non-native speakers of English, English-speaking children, and adult learners.

Grapheme-to-Phoneme Transcription in Hungarian
A crucial component of text-to-speech systems is the one responsible for the transcription of the written text to its phonemic representation. although the complexity of the relation between the written and spoken form of languages varies, most languages have their regular and irregular phonological set of rules. In this paper, we present a system for the phonemic transcription of Hungarian. Be...
متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملDialect variation in Boro Language and Grapheme-to-Phoneme conversion rules to handle lexical lookup fails in Boro TTS System
It is not possible to include all the words in a natural language for general text-to-speech system. Grapheme-tophoneme conversion system is essential to pronounce a word which is out of vocabulary. Grapheme-to-phoneme rules play a vital role where lexical lookup fails. Though basic Grapheme-tophoneme rules system is very simple yet it is very powerful for naturalness of a TTS system. Letter-to...
متن کاملText-to-Speech Synthesis using Phoneme Concatenation
We proposed Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis system based on phonetic concatenation for unrestricted input text. The input text is first converted into phonetic transcription using Letter-to-Sound rules. For synthesis of a new speech, TTS system selects the recorded phoneme units (PUs) from database and modifies the duration according to the rule based on spelling using Time Domain Pitch Synchron...
متن کاملIssues in Text-to-Speech Synthesis
The ultimate goal of text-to-speech synthesis is to convert ordinary orthographic text into an acoustic signal that is indistinguishable from human speech. Originally, synthesis systems were architected around a system of rules and models that were based on research on human language and speech production and perception processes. The quality of speech produced by such systems is inherently lim...
