Text to speech synthesis matlab code

Hello everyone can anyone pls tell me matlab code for text to speech synthesis without using system speech synthesizer...pls help me...

Answer 1

[Image Analyst]

Try this, if you have a Windows computer:

% Program to do text to speech.
% Get user's sentence
userPrompt = 'What do you want the computer to say?';
titleBar = 'Text to Speech';
defaultString = 'Hello World!  MATLAB is an awesome program!';
caUserInput = inputdlg(userPrompt, titleBar, 1, {defaultString});
if isempty(caUserInput)
  return;
end; % Bail out if they clicked Cancel.
caUserInput = char(caUserInput); % Convert from cell to string.

NET.addAssembly('System.Speech');
obj = System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer;
obj.Volume = 100;
Speak(obj, caUserInput);

Thank u very much for ur answer

[Image Analyst]

If this works, could you go ahead and mark the answer as "Accepted". Thanks in advance.

But System.Speech uses the systems speech synthesizer.

[Image Analyst]

Right - I didn't notice because of slight wording differences. I wonder why it matters. Who cares as long as your computer talks?

[Mamadou Ndir]

hello Image Analyst I work in a project and you helped me now is that I can know what code type for the spectrum and the timing of the signal ?

[Image Analyst]

I don't understand your question. Ask it in your own brand new question after reading this.

[Ashish Shinde]

Image Analyst, wow man you solved my problem. I thot I was in a tight jam. But your code just made my day...Kudos.

[Image Analyst]

You're quite welcome Ashish. Thanks for your vote.

Please help me in install speech synthesizer for window 7 for smooth work

[Walter Roberson]

Which speech synthesizer?

[Deba Choudhury]

How is the code working?

I want to read text from notepad file or .txt file what the code for it? |

[Image Analyst]

Look at the help for fgetl()

% Open the file.
fileID = fopen(fullFileName, 'rt');
% Read the first line of the file.
textLine = fgetl(fileID);
while ischar(textLine)
  % Read the remaining lines of the file.
    fprintf('%s\n', textLine);
  % Read the next line.
    textLine = fgetl(fileID);
end
% All done reading all lines, so close the file.
fclose(fileID);

Thanks for code but i want read text from notepad and convert that text into speech

[Walter Roberson]

m k: do you mean that you want the MATLAB program to reach over to an active copy of Notepad and ask Notepad to give it the content of the text?

I am having difficulty determining whether Notepad permits that kind of manipulation at all. I am finding information on connecting from MATLAB to Notepad++ which is an open source enhancement of Notepad.

How can I change the voice using this solution? The obj.Voice.Name property seem to be read-only. I want to use some other voice (supplied by IVONA), not the default.

Error using NET.addAssembly Attempt to execute SCRIPT addAssembly as a function: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017a\toolbox\matlab\winfun\NET\+NET\addAssembly.m

when i write above code then this error begins?? any one known why?

[Vamshi Krishna R]

you must use matlab version higher then 4.1

[Walter Roberson]

? There was no public MATLAB 4.1. The public releases went from 4.0 (1992) to 4.2c (1994)

[Vinay Vinay]

I got the same error as "error in NET.addAssembly('System.Speech'); Can you tell me what did you do and what I should do to rectify the error and for output

[NISTALA]

can we save the audio output in a file or folder

[Image Analyst]

To use audiowrite() you'd need to check what properties or methods System.Speech or obj has. Perhaps one of them is a function to return the audio waveform.

[Basma Maher]

How can i save the audio output in a file.wav?

[Image Analyst]

The very first example in the help for audiowrite() shows you how to do that:

load handel.mat
filename = 'handel.wav';
audiowrite(filename,y,Fs);

You just have to make sure your filename extension has the correct extension to save it in whatever format you want, and audiowrite() will figure it out.

[Mohamed]

how can i store that computer voice on my computer?

[Pertor]

Perhaps this website may be useful. Though I don't get it.

Answer 3

[Deba Choudhury]

It would quite a help if you explain the code working.

[Walter Roberson]

If you are referring to Image Analyst's code: it works by activating a .NET assembly, creating a .NET object using the assembly, and invoking a method on object to do the work.

Another way of phrasing this is that it more or less makes an operating system call to do the work.

The technique will work only for MS Windows.

[Vinay Vinay]

Can you please tell me code for the process you have told..creating .Net and invoking it

[Image Analyst]

You don't need to do anything. In my code you simply start using NET.

With Windows systems, it's built-in or something.

[sadiq husaini]

Need the source code of this class (System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer)? any one help me ? thanks in advance.

[Image Analyst]

Try this: https://careers.microsoft.com/

If you get hired onto the right team, you may be able to get to the source code.

[Jan]

@sadiq: You ask a Matlab forum to provide the source code of a Windows library, which is obviously a protected property of Microsoft. Seriously?

i need coding for extact of text and audio conversion

[Image Analyst]

OK. Good luck

If you have a question, just ask.

how to reduce delay in text to speech conversion between two word or more in matlab .please send command.thanks

Answer 6

[Priya Raj]

Sir, We have obtained the count of objects in our program and we want to output that count in the form of speech,How it can be done,ty.

[Brian Hemmat]

Audio Toolbox (R2019a or later) supports calling into popular 3rd-party APIs for speech synthesis:
