Text To Speech For The Visual Impaired With Flutter Framework

ABSTRACT

A Text-to-speech application is a synthesizer software that converts text into spoken word, by analyzing and processing the text using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and then using I Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to convert this processed text into synthesized speech representation of the text. The visually impaired makes a lot of mistake during typing because they just assume whatever there are typing is right, this lead to the development of TextTo-Speech application. Here, we developed a useful text-to-speech synthesizer in the form of a simple application that converts inputted text into synthesized speech and reads out to the user which can then be saved as an mp3 file. The development of a text to speech synthesizer will be of great help to people with visual impairment and make making through large volume of text easier. Lastly the topics relevant to the development of TTS systems in Flutter is also discussed
