摘要： A digital speech processor operates in parallel with a programmable digital computer to generate sequences of variable-length speech phases and pauses at the request of the computer. A speech memory region within the speech processor contains digitally-encoded speech data segments of varying length. A separate command memory region, can be loaded with a plurality of commands. When sequentially executed by the speech processor, these commands cause the processor to generate an arbitrary sequence of spoken phases and pauses without intervention by the computer. When the programmable digital computer is not operating the speech processor to synthesize spoken words, the speech and command memory regions are used as auxiliary random access memory to increase the size of the memory space of the computer.

摘要： A digital speech processor operates in parallel with a programmable digital computer to generate sequences of variable-length speech phrases and pauses at the request of the computer. A speech memory within the speech processor contains digitally-encoded speech data segments of varying length. A separate command memory region, accessible to and loadable by the computer, can be loaded with a plurality of commands. When sequentially executed by the speech processor, these commands cause the processor to generate an arbitrary sequence of spoken phrases and pauses without intervention by the computer. Each two-byte command causes the speech processor to retrieve from the speech memory a particular speech data segment and convert it into speech, or to pause for a time interval specified by a number within the command.

摘要翻译： 数字语音处理器与可编程数字计算机并行操作，以在计算机的请求下生成可变长度语音短语和暂停的序列。 语音处理器内的语音存储器包含长度不同的经数字编码的语音数据段。 可以使用多个命令来加载可由计算机访问和加载的单独的命令存储器区域。 当由语音处理器顺序地执行时，这些命令使得处理器产生任意的口头短语和暂停的序列而不用计算机的干预。 每个双字节命令使得语音处理器从语音存储器中检索特定语音数据段并将其转换成语音，或者在由命令内的数字指定的时间间隔内暂停。
