INTRODUCTION TO .NET
.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft
New programming methodology
.NET is platform independent/cross platform
.NET is language insensitive
It includes a large class library known as Framework Class
Library(FCL)
Microsoft also produces an integrated development
environment largely for .NET software called Visual Studio
It provides language interoperability (each language can use
code written in other languages) across several programming
languages

C# Language
◦ C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.
◦ Its development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg.
◦ The most recent version is C# 5.0,released on August 15, 2012.
◦ Developed specifically for .NET
◦ Enable programmers to migrate from C/C++ and Java easily
◦ Event-driven, fully OO, visual programming language
◦ Process of rapidly creating an application using an IDE is called
Rapid Application Development (RAD)
◦ Language Interoperability and Reusability
◦ Windows Desktop, Windows Phone and Web Application &
Services

TEXT TO SPEECH CONVERTER
It is the window application based on speech synthesis
technology
It converts written text into spoken language
The first general English text-to-speech system was
developed by Noriko Umeda in 1968 at the
Electrotechnical Laboratory, Japan
There are many TTS conversion applications in market
such as Text2Speak, CoolSpeech, Verbose,
eSpeak,TextAloud etc
The procedure consist of two main phases:-
A)Text Analysis
B) Speech waveforms

A) TEXT ANALYSIS :-
The input text is transcribed into a phonetic or some other
linguistic representation
B) SPEECH WAVEFORMS:-
The acoustic output is produced from the phonetic and prosodic
information

TTS technology used in :
Apple : The first speech system integrated into an OS that shipped
in quantity was Apple computer ‘s MAC intalk. The Apple Ios used
on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch uses VoiceOver speech
synthesis for accessibility.
Android: Version 1.6 of android added support for TTS.
Microsoft windows: Coolspeech, Textaloud and ultrahal can
perform various text-to-speech tasks such as reading text aloud
Internet: Currently, there are a number of applications, plugins and
gadgets that can read messages directly from an e-mail client and
web pages from a web browser or Google Toolbar such as Text-to-
voice which is an add-on to Firefox

TTS technology used in: Multiple companies offer TTS APIs to their customers to accelerate
development of new applications
Companies offering TTS APIs include
AT&T
IVONA
Neospeech
Readspeaker
• For mobile app development:-
Android OS has been offering TTS APIs for a long time
Most recently, with iOS7,Apple started offering an API for text to
speech
