This study aims to create language units for an Arabic speaker synthesizer based on the predefined schemes for the syllabic structures of Arabic. The focus of this research is to design a system for spoken language assistance for the blind people in Arab countries. Simple verbs, names and particles are within our reach. Moreover, with only 84 sub-syllables, we can produce speech at different levels of complexity, including syllable, word, sentence, or text level based on the different schemes devised.
