Research of speed and accuracy of speech synthesis methods for the purposes of deployment in embedded device

Abstract

In the article, the methods concerning speech synthesis were analysed, having in mind their usage in an embedded device. Research was carried out on the devices with mixed parameters, and the criteria were accuracy and speed of the given method. The research is a part of the Toucan Eye project – an embedded device with an artificial intelligence system able to help people with impaired sight. It was shown how important is optimization of the applied methods in the phase of an engineer project to ensure better quality of a working device and the end-user’s comfort.
