Abstract

Many attempts have been conducted to add emotions to synthesized speech [1]. Few are done for the Arabic language. In the present paper, we introduce a work done to incorporate emotions: anger, joy, sadness, fear and surprise, in an educational Arabic text-to-speech system. After an introduction about emotions, we give a short paragraph of our text-to-speech system, then we discuss our methodology to extract rules for emotion generation, and finally we present the results we had and try to draw conclusions.
