    摘要: A method for generating synthetic speech uses detection of natural timing boundaries in words to be spoken by the synthetic speech system, to produce natural timing intervals. Phonemes are identified in the natural timing intervals. Time durations are assigned for each of the phonemes. A time duration of a selected phoneme is changed to achieve a desired time duration for a selected natural timing interval containing the phoneme. The natural timing interval may be selected to be a syllable. The natural timing interval may be selected to be the interval between two stressed phonemes. The natural timing intervals may be set to substantially the same duration between timing boundaries by changing the phoneme durations in accordance with rhythm of the language of synthesized speech. Durations of preselected phonemes, however, may remain unchanged.

    摘要: 36 Telephone interface option module circuit for interfacing an electronic device to a telephone network. Most electronic devices, for example, modems, telephone message systems and text-to-speech systems, when coupled to a telephone network must conform to specific telephone interconnect regulations. These regulations generally vary from country to country, and therefore, the electronic device generally has to be modified to conform to a specific countries telephone regulations. The option module circuit contains the country specific telephone regulations, and when plugged into the electronic device, ensures that the electronic device conforms to those regulations.
