I don't have access to my ridiculously inadaquate user's manuals that came with my A1000 (they are at my parents house), so I have a question: Are the phoneme lists that the speech synthesizer uses documented in the User's Manuals? If not, where are they documented? Does anyone has a list and description of them? I am trying to create an application that uses speech and the translator library is inadequate and annoying. I would like to tailor the inflection and pronounciation in a more realistic way. Has anyone created a tool for that? I was thinking about doing something like a speech paint program. A program that would allow you to input text then assign it to different audio-ports, set the gender of the voice, adjust all parameters with sliders, insert phonetic pronounciation to replace the words that the translator has trouble with. Oooohh, I can see it now, Hamlet performed on an Amiga :-). -- | Christopher M.

The program is called Speech. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions... Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk
