Abstract. The existence of regional languages shows an identity of the
existence of a tribe. Indonesia has many regional languages, one of which is
Balinese with Balinese script as input for the script which comes from
Sanskrit. Reading Balinese script requires knowledge of Balinese script and
Balinese culture so that it can correctly pronounce the written Balinese
script. With a long learning process, it certainly causes a slowdown in
knowledge about how to read the Balinese script. Therefore, it is necessary
to have a system that can translate Balinese script into a speech so that it can
be used in learning the Balinese script without any mistakes in pronouncing
vowels. This research will design a system synthesis of Balinese script into
a speech with the system synthesis method of Noto Serif Balinese Font
which consists of three processes namely text pre-processing, prosody
generation, and concatenation. Concatenation or combining speech will use
the Pitch Synchronous Overlap Add Method (PSOLA). The result to be
achieved in this research is to be able to decompose the Unicode from the
Noto Serif Balinese font into a sentence which then this sentence will
become a message. In the future, this research can use input from an image
