“…As a final impression of the quality of the developed system it can be said that several experiments here listen to and all of them produced the correct junction of digits and particles, demonstrating a correct function of the algorithm. A first version of the system (Teixeira, Mota, & Sampaio, 2014) without the extended database recorded and edited according to the conditions described in this paper here several disturbing problems due to the concatenation of digits without the careful of this new version. The usage of the new database clearly improved the final quality o the synthesized numbers.…”

The paper presents an algorithm for read common numbers until one million in Portuguese language. The record and cutting process of the digit speech sounds deserved a special attention to improve the speech sound output. A special attention is required for the correct inclusion of the particle ‘e' (and) to provide better naturalness of the read numbers. The system has the ability of simulate the human biologic speech sound production in the task of reading numbers. The system is based in the concatenation of carefully recorded edited and selected speech segments corresponding to the digits. The naturalness of the system was improved with the use of speech files of read digits in different positions (beginning, middle and end) and using digits concatenated with the particle ‘e' before, after and before and after the digit.
