  • Abstract
    A single CMOS speech synthesis LSI, organized as a special purpose microcomputer containing program ROM, RAM, 32K of speech data ROM, and a D/A converter is described in this paper. The chip utilizes new speech synthesis techniques to generate high quality speech, reproducing the natural inflection and intonation of the speaker, and has been used to produce speech at a bit rate of about 3 kbits/s.
