Abstract

The paper describes a Web voice browser based on improved text-to-speech algorithm and architecture, which making Internet content available by voice. A visual and audible web browser was discussed in terms of HTML files to be tuned with TTS and speech recognition processes. The voice evaluation results show that the system has better voice quality and data identifiability than other voice browsers.
