The code comprises: a waveguide/transmission-line vocal tract model controlled by both static and dynamic parameters; a database editing and parameter creation system (MONET) that provides an existing database for spoken English and a comprehensive facility for creating databases for other languages; a 70,000 word English pronouncing dictionary; a letter-to-sound module for words not found in, or derivable from the dictionary entries; and dictionary editing tools. The MONET module includes models of British English rhythm and intonation, phonetic prescriptions, and rules for sound element parameter construction and concatenation based on original research at the university of Calgary. he output is a set of samples at up to 44.1 KHz stereo that can be heard through the normal sound facilities of the computer.
