Abstract
The development of a microcomputer-based voice output system for English that uses prerecorded demisyllables as units of synthesis is described. With an inventory of approximately 950 demisyllables, the system is capable of producing all possible syllables and words of English. By combining these units to form continuous speech, the system can produce any English sentence.<>
