Abstract: This paper aims at providing design and development solution of an Android application whose objective is to provide a solution to overcome the barrier of languages by implementing text to speech conversion in different languages. The Android application developed text to speech conversion to facilitate the translation of English language text into speech output in different languages. We have also proposed few improvements which can further advance this system to include more target audiences so as to make it more beneficial and useful. The proposed English Text to Multilingual Speech Translator using Android (T2MSTA) aims at providing assistance to the people lacking the power of speech or non-native speakers like people who do not share a common language.
