Abstrakt

The present paper describes the transfer of ARTIC TTS to the real smartphone/communicator hardware, as the increasing penetration of such devices provides the solid base for the creation of special assistive technology applications, rendering the communication with hearing- or speaking-impaired people markedly more effective, simple and natural. As the target platform, the Google's Android OS has been chosen. In the paper, the unique system software stack of the Android OS is described, and the specifics of low-resource hardware are discussed from the point of view of two ARTIC TTS technologies – single unit instance and multiple unit instance (also known as unit selection). The performance of the ARTIC running on the given low-resource hardware is presented and discussed.
