Abstract
This paper deals with speech synthesis from text (TTS ) applied to standard Arabic. The adopted method of synthesis is the concatenation of stored units. The automatic reading concerns texts containing vowelised words and also numbers. The resulting speech is of good quality but has some artifacts for which smoothing procedures are necessary.
