| Abstract | Thai text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) has been researched and developed for decades. Several systems have been launched commercially or publicly while the global TTS technology is still going on with novel algorithms such as deep neural network (DNN). As the Thai language has its special characteristics that make difficulties in computer processing, research work have been focused much on Thai text analysis for TTS pre -processing. Automatic word segmentation, phrase boundary detection, as well as F0 prediction in the Thai tonal language are some of such issues challenging the development of Thai TTS. This article conclusively provides a review of research related to Thai TTS focusing on the last decade (2007-2016). Although there have been consecutive research work on this area, there are still unsolved and challenging problems needed further research. Discussion on the existing issues requiring extensive future work is finally given. |
