This work presents an integration process and a quality evaluation of HMM-based Text-To-Speech System to FIVE (Framework for an Integrated Voice Environment). Speech synthesis approaches were studied, commercial synthesizers were tested and a standard of extensibility were developed for the FIVE. The integration process was successful and the quality evaluation was conducted based on three approaches: on MBROLA diphones, on HMM-based Text-To-Speech approach, and on Loquendo's products. The acquired results were considered relevant for HMM voices analysis and for FIVE quality increment.
