Abstract
A system for synthesizing speech from a phonetic input is described. A string of phonetic symbols representing the sentence to be uttered is transformed into the control signals required by a parametric speech synthesizer using a small digital computer. The performance of the system was investigated by listening tests. In the first set of experiments consonant-vowel syllables were synthesized, and presented to listeners for identification. The vowels were readily identified, but the fricatives less so. In the second set of experiments the intelligibility of synthesized sentences was examined. It was found that after about an hour of transcribing the sentences, listeners identified about 90% of the words correctly.
