Abstract

In a text-to-speech system, a method of converting text-to-speech can include receiving a text input and comparing the received text input to at least one entry in a text-to-speech cache memory. Each entry in the text-to-speech cache memory can specify a corresponding spoken output. If the text input matches one of the entries in the text-to-speech cache memory, the cached speech output specified by the matching entry can be provided.
