Abstract
Text To Speech (TTS) using Hidden Markov Model (HMM) has become popular in recent years. However, because most of such systems were implemented on personal computers (PCs), it is difficult to offer these systems to real applications. In this paper, we present a hardware implementation of TTS based on DSP architecture, which is applicable for real applications. By optimizing hardware architecture, the quality of the DSP-based synthesized speech is nearly identical to that synthesized on PCs.
