Abstract

In this paper, we present a Message-to-Speech system for Natural Language Generation that is to be integrated in a dialogue system. As the system has to function in a very restrictive environment with respect to computational resources, a compromise between concept based and template based generation systems had to be found. Still, the approach aims at achieving linguistic flexibility for the utterances and attaining a natural sounding prosody.
