Requirements

The system requirements define the functional and non-functional aspects that the text-to-audio conversion system must meet. These requirements guide the development process, ensuring that the system meets the user's needs and expectations.

Functional Requirements

  1. Text-to-Audio Conversion: The system must generate audible audio from text inputs.

  2. Integration: The system must integrate seamlessly with existing virtual assistant infrastructures.

  3. Language Support: The system must support generating audio in Portuguese.

  4. Voice Customization: Users must be able to choose and customize voices for their needs.

  5. Dynamic Intonation: The system must adjust intonation to emphasize keywords in responses.

  6. Emotion Adaptation: The system should modify the voice's tone based on conversational context.

  7. Multi-Format Text Support: Inputs in HTML, Markdown, plain text, and emails must be processed effectively.

Non-Functional Requirements

  1. Performance: The system must generate responses in under 1.5 seconds.

  2. Scalability: It must support multiple simultaneous users without degradation.

  3. Availability: The system must be operational 99% of the time.

  4. Clarity: The generated audio must be clear and easy to understand.

  5. Naturalness: Voices must sound natural and human-like, avoiding robotic tones.

  6. Redundancy: Mechanisms should ensure uninterrupted service even in case of failures.

  7. Maintainability: The system must have modular, well-documented code for easy updates.

  8. Multilingual Capability: It should support multiple languages to cater to diverse markets.

  9. Legal Compliance: All voices used must adhere to licensing and copyright laws.

Constraints

  1. Integration with Virtual Assistants: The system must integrate seamlessly with existing virtual assistants, preserving user experience.

  2. Independent Deployment: It must operate autonomously without third-party dependencies.
