The invention discloses a multiple-transmission-mode text-to-speech (TTS) system and method. The multiple-transmission-mode TTS system comprises a text message processing module, a communication module, a TTS (text-to-speech) module, an audio power amplification module and a loudspeaker module. The text message processing module is separated from the TTS module in a modularized manner, the communication module transmits a text message which needs to be converted into speech, after the TTS module converts the text into the speech, the TTS module outputs an audio signal, the audio signal is amplified by the audio power amplification module and then is output to the loudspeaker module, and the loudspeaker module emits sounds. In the multiple-transmission-mode TTS system, a main processor is separated from a speech synthesizer in a modularized manner, a TTS speech synthesizer broadcasting system which is suitable for a plurality of occasions and is provided with multiple transmission modes is independently formed, the text message can be directly transmitted by means of a wireless or wired communication mode, and therefore the multiple-transmission-mode TTS system can be applied to various occasions flexibly.
