Abstract

Distributed speech synthesis (DSS) is a novel field of study and will be playing an active role in the domain of speech technology in the post-PC era. This paper focuses on the architecture design, implementation mechanism and optimization considerations of DSS systems. First, client-server based DSS architectures are investigated in server, client and network parts, respectively. Second, related system implementation issues are discussed correspondingly. Finally, system optimization suggestions in the aspects of data security, QoS control and load balancing between DSS server and client through dynamic arbitration are presented.
