Speech Synthesis in the Kazakh Language and its Phonetic Features

The article examines the synthesis of speech in the Kazakh language from the phonetic, phonological and prosodic points of view. Word synthesis is the process of converting a written text into an oral form. It is aimed not only at voicing the text, but also at providing a natural and understandable sound of speech. To create a realistic and legible synthesizer, the text is systematized in accordance with orthoepical norms, and phonemic changes, vowel reduction, and sound phenomena are described based on linguistic data. Phonetic and phonological patterns play an important role in improving speech synthesis technology. The article also examines the relevance and methods of speech synthesis, identifies their features and differences. In addition, an analysis of modern speech synthesis programs has been carried out, their advantages and disadvantages have been identified. The article analyzes articulatory, formative, parametric and neural models used for speech synthesis. To improve the quality of speech synthesis in the Kazakh language, it is shown that it is necessary to decipher abbreviated words and numbers, observe orthoepical norms, and correctly model intonation and rhythmic groups. The results of the study can serve as a scientific basis for creating a qualitative synthesis of words based on the phonetic and phonological patterns of the Kazakh language. The creation of high-quality word synthesis will make it possible to develop speech interfaces in the Kazakh language.
