SPEECH SYNTHESIS WORK STATION

拟议工作的目的是调查 开发一种低成本的计算机语音合成系统 在研究和教育方面。该系统采用了新的原则。 旨在使其更易于使用。我们的计划是进一步 提高系统的有用性和可用性，以 研究人员、教师和学生通过包括培训、 文档和支持服务。的具体目标 拟议项目的第一阶段是(1)修改 实验室语音合成器(KLSYN)符合最近 言语产生和言语理解的研究进展 声学；(2)连接方法的合成器的附加 语音参数使合成控制更简单、更多 直观；(3)初步开发了一系列分析和 展示便于综合的功能；以及，(4)详细计划 用于实现具有新的高速信号的合成器 处理设备。这项工作是为了启动一个 语音合成系统，包括培训、文档和 为研究人员、教师和学生提供支持服务。

The aim of the proposed work is to investigate the feasibility of developing a low-cost computer-based system for speech synthesis in research and education. The system incorporates new principles that are intended to make it easier to use. The plan is to further enhance the usefulness and availability of the system to researchers, teachers and students by including training, documentation and support services. The specific objectives of Phase I of the proposed project are (1) modifications of a laboratory speech synthesizer (KLSYN) in accordance with recent advances in the understanding of speech production and speech acoustics; (2) addition to the synthesizer of a method of linking speech parameters to make control of synthesis simpler and more intuitive; (3) initial development of a series of analysis and display functions to facilitate synthesis; and, (4) a detailed plan for implementation of the synthesizer with new, high speed signal processing devices. This work is to initiate development of a speech synthesis system, including training, documentation and support services, for researchers, teachers and students.
