Abstract

To develop a Text-To-Speech (TTS) system in Iranian Farsi language, in this paper three subsystems are designed and implemented. The first subsystem, called NLP (Natural Language Processor), consists of a Part-Of Speech (POS) tagging unit, a text to phoneme converter, and a module for disambiguation of homographs. The second subsystem is a prosody generator that uses a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with 289 nodes implemented in four layers. A concatenative speech synthesizer using Harmonic plus Noise Model (HNM) with new approaches in prosody modification is implemented as the third subsystem. To provide training data for prosody generator more efficiently, a couple of novel and hybrid algorithms are used for automated segmentation and labeling of speech at phoneme level with 97.2% accuracy. To evaluate the performance of system, rating scales recommended in ITU-T P.85 are used and average MOS (over six scales) of 3.59 was reached. This MOS shows that the performance of this Farsi ITS is comparable with modern English ITS systems.
