AB  - Speech synthesis applications have become an ubiquity, in navigation
systems, digital assistants or as screen or audio book
readers. Despite their impact on the acceptability of the systems
in which they are embedded, and despite the fact that different
applications probably need different types of TTS voices,
TTS evaluation is still largely treated as an isolated problem.
Even though there is strong agreement among researchers that
the mainstream approaches to Text-to-Speech (TTS) evaluation
are often insufficient and may even be misleading, there exist
few clear-cut suggestions as to (1) how TTS evaluations may
be realistically improved on a large scale, and (2) how such improvements
may lead to an informed feedback for system developers
and, ultimately, better systems relying on TTS. This paper
reviews the current state-of-the-art in TTS evaluation, and suggests
a novel user-centered research program for this area.
