PROSODY MODELING OF IMPERATIVE SENTENCE IN BAHASA INDONESIA USING MATLAB

Speech synthesis or text to speech is a speech processing technology and can change text to speech form. Speech synthesis applications are also available in Bahasa Indonesia which is known as TTS Indo. In these applications, there are still many shortcomings such as the sound produced using a sentence with a flat tone (without prosody), whereas in a sentence that prosody used to distinguish the meaning of the sentence. The sentences which are discussed in this journal are imperative sentences. Imperative sentence modeling on this research is basically seeing pitch (fundamental frequency) of the speaker by using MATLAB software. By looking at the results of the imperative sentence for Bahasa Indonesia, either one word or two words, both have a high tendency of intonation in the final seconds (at the end of the sentence). At the last, the prosody modeling analysis that inform the alteration of pitch can be used for prosody model of TTS Indo
