The purpose of this paper is to describe hardware realization of a real time Arabic text-to-speech system based on a diphone dictionary and LPC technique. The board consists of two processors: a general purpose processor for the control of operations and a speech synthesizer processor. The board is connected to the host computer through an RS-232 port. The whole synthesis system allows the conversion of any typed Arabic text into intelligible speech in real time.
