text-to-speech synthesizer [¦tekst tə ¦spēch ′sin·thə‚sīz·ər]

No references found | In these experimental sessions a synthetic voice, instead of a natural voice, was used because text-to-speech synthesizers have become essential tools for the accessibility of modern human-machine interaction applications for people who are visually impaired and thus the experiments originated from real operational conditions. The existing Estonian text-to-speech synthesizer, for example, uses the MBROLA synthesis engine worked out at Mons University, Belgium (Dutoit 1997:276). As one of the leading inventors of our time, Ray was the principal developer of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. |
