aledm@syma.sussex.ac.uk (Aled Morris) (08/24/89)

Does anyone know of any software for converting English ASCII text into
phonemes for speech synthesisers?  Suggesions of FTP, RTFM or references
to papers gratefully accepted.

Replies by email (I'll summarise if appropriate).  Thanks.

	Support for this is built in to the operating
	system of the Commodore Amiga. The Amiga has
	a built-in synthesizer which the translator
	functions utilize.

But of course Commodore doesn't give you source code.  I just
posted very small and rather inaccurate translater in sci.lang.
