Abstract

Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology produces human-like speech from input text. It has recently acquired prominence by applying deep neural networks. Nowadays, endto-end TTS models produce highly natural synthesized speech but require extremely high computational resources. Deploying such high-quality TTS models in a real-time environment has been a challenging problem due to the limited resources of embedding systems and cell phones. This paper demonstrated the implementation of an end-to-end TTS model (FastSpeech 2) in an embedded device (Raspberry Pi4 B+). The objective experimental results showed that the TTS model is compatible with the Raspberry Pi (RPi) with high-quality synthesized speech and acceptable performance in terms of processing speed. Our proposed model could be used in many real-life applications if used together with a mechanism for caching, such as railway announcements and industrial purposes.
