Abstract
This paper introduces a model that uses a rule based technique to determine the pronunciation of numerals in different context and is being integrated with the waveform concatenation technique to produce speech from the input text in Odia language. To analyze the performance of the proposed technique, a set of numerals are considered in different context and a comparison of the proposed technique with an existing numeral reading algorithm is also presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed technique in producing intelligible speech out of the entered text.
