Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 18:51:16 +0100 (MET) Your posting reads very funny, does your computer stutter? I was not able to tell the first URL you gave, too garbled. I found the second with googles' help. My general concern about phonemes is that it would require: - a kind of dictionary, ruleset, whatever (could maybe swapped out, like the clips) - a bunch of code to work with that - nicely recorded phonemes that fit very well together - blending from one phoneme to the next, our hardware can do only hard cuts (probably some people now want to record all the combinations instead) - tone variations within a sentence, following grammar, to avoid robot-talk, can maybe done by pitching Even if the code was made back in time for 64kB machines, this is still a lot of extra for our box. Don't get me wrong, it would be great to have synthesis, please feel still encouraged. It's just more than I want to do in the first shot.
