This paper presents a complete statistical speech synthesizer for Myanmar which includes a syllable segmenter, text normalizer, grapheme-to-phoneme convertor, and an HMM-based speech synthesis engine. We believe this is the first such system for the Myanmar language. We performed a thorough human evaluation of the synthesizer relative to human and re-synthesized baselines. Our results show that our system is able to synthesize speech at a quality comparable with similar state-of-the-art synthesizers for other languages.
