Design of Javanese Text to Speech Application

Javanese is one of the many regional languages used in Indone-sia. Javanese language is used by most of the population in Java. But now along with the development of the era, the use of region-al languages including Javanese language is to be reduced espe-cially among the younger generation. One way to help conserve the use of Javanese language is to utilize information technologies, one of them is by developing a text to speech application that can be used to find out how the pronunciation of Javanese language. In this paper, we discussed the design for Javanese text to speech applications uses finite state automata. The design result will be used as rules to separate syllables when implementing text to speech application.
