Abstract
This paper discusses the important aspects to be considered when developing A Text To Speech System (TTS) in Kiswahili. These include linguistic features such as the phoneset, stresses and intonation. The choice of the standard dialect is also discussed. TTS features such as the text normalisation and the lexicon for Kiswahili are discussed.
