Abstract :
This article describes the restrictions and requirements low-resource systems to impose on text-to-speech (TTS) software. The most important point is available memory size, but computing time and implementation issues are discussed as well. For each restriction, one or more solutions are presented. The proferred solutions have been implemented by Infineon Technologies AG and the Technical University of Dresden.
