摘要
The work presented in this paper is about Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis and, more particularly, about statistical speech synthesis using the Hidden Markov Models (HMM). The main objective of this work is to study the functioning of the HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS) and the implementation of this method to create a system that produces understandable speech output for a given Arabic text. We have done a brief description of the statistical parametric speech synthesis based on HMM, the steps followed to implement this method for Arabic language. Finally, for the evaluations of the system are based on subjective mean opinion score and objective tests. Regarding the intelligibility, naturalness aspects (listening) and the quality (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ)).
