In this paper, we are interested to works carried out in several fields linked to the Human-Computer interface especially the Automatic Natural Language Processing (ANLP). Our study is particularly dedicated to the voice synthesis more specifically to synthesis from text (Text To Speech; TTS). TTS systems are positioned at the crossroads of computing (because the synthesizers are software), linguistics (each voice synthesis system is based on lexical analysis, syntactic, morphological and sometimes semantics, of a language), and signal processing (since the synthesized sounds are signals). We demonstrate the real weight of studding the voice synthesis as well as its technological advancement and we highlight the products and technologies currently available.
