DEVELOPMENT OF A SPEECH SYNTHESIZER FOR PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE WITH HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of speech synthesizers developed for the Portuguese language, focusing on hardware implementation and consideration of regional linguistic variations. Three synthesizers (A, B, and C) were evaluated in terms of regional variations, hardware implementation, efficiency, portability, ease of use, voice variation, comprehensibility, Braille compatibility, responsiveness, responsiveness, and resource consumption on mobile devices. The Synthesizer A, despite its moderate efficiency and high portability, stood out for its consideration of regional variations, easy initiation of speech synthesis, and high comprehensibility. The Synthesizer B, with hardware implementation, demonstrated efficiency and fast response times, but faced challenges in voice variation. The C Synthesizer offered high efficiency, portability, and Braille compatibility, making it suitable for a variety of devices. The detailed analysis of these synthesizers has provided valuable insights to guide the future development of these technologies.
