| Abstract | In this paper, a real-time Arabic text-to-speech system is presented. There are many Arabic text-to- speech systems already built. K.H. Abdel-Gawad and M.F. abou El- Yazeed reported some of them. However, they are not real-time ones. Real-time performances is achieved by using parallel processing techniques. The proposed system consists of a personal computer (PC) and an interface card, to be inserted inside the PC, which carries an N80l96KC processor with all logic circuits required to operate the two processors together. The choice of a PC to implement the system is due to its wide spread all over the world which makes this system available at everyone hand. The details of how the two processors cooperate to finish their assigned jobs is given. Although the proposed system is designed to satisfy text-to-speech requirements, with some modification it can be made a general-purpose one with modular |
