Abstract for group Speech We propose to implement a speech synthesizer using the hardware and software tools provided to us. Our synthesizer will be based on key phonetic elements, combining these sounds into words based on the text input into the program. We plan to make use of the audio peripherals on the board and the FPGA's processing power as well as implementation in code to realize this project. We will use this project to build upon our knowledge of Embedded System design and past projects such as the spectral analyzer.
