Abstract

To improve the quality of the speech produced by a Text-to-Speech (TTS) system, it is important to obtain the maximum amount of information from the input text that may help in this task. This covers a wide range of possibilities that can go from the simple conversion of non orthographic items to more complex syntactic and semantic analysis. In this paper, we present the development of a morphossyntactic tagging system and analyze its influence on the performance of a TTS system for European Portuguese.
