Adaptation of the AhoTTS Text to Speech System to PDA Platforms
This paper presents the work carried on to adapt a Basque language Text-To-Speech (TTS) system into a mobile device of limited resources. The aim is to make possible the use of the AhoTTS conversion system of the UPV/EHU´s Aholab group, in a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and to test the system performance in several aspects, such as sound sample generation times. The selected PDA is a Pocket PC under the Windows CE operating system. The converter has been compiled in a library which provides an Application Programming Interface (API) to the applications. Some applications that use the created API are also described.
