The development of the Text-to-Speech (TTS) field is not at the same level in all countries and for all languages. This was obviously conditioned by the differences in speaking and writing in different languages, but also and by the economic justification for research in national terms. Therefore it is evident that the advancement of this field for local languages has not made any significant progress in comparison with the English language. In this context, within this paper is explored the possibility of using the existing TTS converters dedicated for English language [3], for the Albanian language. In particular eSpeak is treated as a compact open source software for speech synthesizer in English, which uses the method of synthesis formant and supports the synthesis of some other words in other languages. The research is focused on two aspects, in determining the understanding of words generated by this system and in determining the feasibility of using eSpeak for generating of speech in Albanian.
