This TTS system is embed-ded in a multimedia interactive service accessible from differ-ent media, such as TV, Internet and mobile devices. The re-quirements of this application give rise to several particularitiesin the design and implementation of the TTS system, which arediscussed throughout this paper. Several tests have been con-ducted to analyze the TTS system in terms of performance andspeech quality.
