I was pottering about the house this morning and was thinking a bout the very first speech synthesizer I came across. A friend of myne hosted a computer group and when I went some of the kids would forget I was blind and offer me the loan of video games.
Anyway one night at this computer club I was shown a speech synthesizer available in England for fifteen pounds but I remember you had to indicate when programming the synthesizer how you wanted a word pronounced. For example , if you wanted the word party to be pronounced as party you would say party = partee as a way of indicating to the synthesizer just how you wanted the word pronounced. I would have loved to take up the challenge of programming the thing with a vocabulary, but didn't have access to a computer at home then, like I do now so couldn't do it. It's one of the few regretsin my association with computers, but there's heeps of challenges ahead for us techo guys. Regards all Dennis Arms.
