Abstract
Due to its morphological and syntactic properties, the Arabic language is considered a very difficult language to master in the field of automatic speech processing and synthesis systems from Arabic text are therefore very few in number. The goal of our work is a contribution to the creation of a speech synthesis system by concatenation of units in a corpus for the Arabic language. The goal of our work is to create a speech synthesis system by concatenation of units in a corpus for the Arabic language called GArabic TTS under the Matlab environment. The text to be introduced is a non-voweled text which facilitates the use of the system, the output is only available for a male voice. The final evaluation of the overall quality of the system is deemed satisfied.
