Text-to-speech (TTS) technology on a computer refers to the combination of text appearing on the computer display together with the computer speaking that text aloud with a digitized or synthesized voice. Digitized speech is a recorded (or digitized) human voice speaking, and synthesized voice is a computer-generated voice speaking the text. This project focuses on TTS software tools that use synthesized speech to read any text.
There are a wide range of TTS software tools available. Shareware programs are available via the Internet from shareware sites such as www.tucows.com. If you search for text-to-speech (with and without the hyphens) you can locate inexpensive or freely available software. Typically shareware and freeware programs are limited in their capability; however, they are useful for trying out the technology.

ABSTRACT Everyone uses the computer for one reason or the other. For those with poor eye sight, it is always a problem to read texts from screen, either due to small font-size or bad eye sight. This has led to the design of a text to speech system capable of converting written texts to speech.. TSpeech synthesis systems are often called... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT A Text-to-speech application is a synthesizer software that converts text into spoken word, by analyzing and processing the text using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and then using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to convert this processed text into synthesized speech representation of the text. The vision impaired students... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A speech act or stylistics analysis is the study of literary and non-literary texts using linguistic and literary descriptions. The aim of this research work was a speech act analysis of Akachi adimora-ezeigbo’s Trafficked . The study critically analysed the data through the use of some levels of stylistic description namely;... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to do an in-depth study of the variations in language as used by the various novelists in the novels selected for this study. The objectives of the study were to investigate the divergent ways in which these writers have creatively used English to perform the functional role of communication in a non-native...
