Abstract
In [2] we have presented a subsystem for text-to-speech
(TTS) conversion for macedonian language as a part of a
system for support of humans with damaged eyesight [1].
In this paper we present the speech synthesizer which is
part of the TTS conversion subsystem. It's based on timedomain syllable concatenation. A novel module for duration and fundamental frequency (F0) modification is
introduced and discussed. We believe that the architecture presented is well suited to the nature of macedonian
language, and fits well with prerequisites for real-time
operation on a standard, of-the-shelf hardware. The
prototype containing inventory of 1275 syllables and
implementing modules for duration and F0 modification
was built and tested. The preliminary tests concerning the
eligibility of the synthesized speech are most encouraging.
