In the last decade there has been a shift towards development of speech synthesizer using concatenative synthesis technique instead of parametric synthesis. There are a number of different methodologies for concatenative synthesis like TDPSOLA, PSOLA, and MBROLA. This paper, describes a concatenative speech synthesis system based on Epoch Synchronous Non Over Lapp Add (ESNOLA) technique, for standard colloquial Bengali, which uses the partnemes as the smallest signal units for concatenation. The system provided full control for prosody and intonation.
