An advanced text-to-speech server system based on SOAP protocol

The traditional text-to-speech (TTS) server system is an interactive service platform for voice generation within an intranet operating over TCP/IP protocol. In the information era, the ever-expanding Web services require that the service scope of TTS server systems enlarge to the whole Internet. This paper proposes an advanced TTS server system binding with the simple object access protocol (SOAP) and describes its architecture and implementation. The performance data comparison by experiments is presented in the end of the paper.
