TLDR
In this article, a calculator system is provided using a stored program data processor and an audio message subsystem to process digital information and to provide audio messages for operator interaction, which is stored in a digital memory and accessed in response to operator generated signals.Abstract:
A calculator system is provided using a stored program data processor and an audio message subsystem to process digital information and to provide audio messages for operator interaction. The calculator system utilizes a digital data processor to execute program routines to process digital information and to communicate with an operator using audio messages. Digital message information is stored in a digital memory and is accessed in response to operator generated signals to provide audio messages.read more

Conversion of printed text into synthetic speech
Coker C H,Noriko Umeda +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a system was described for converting printed text into speech sounds by converting text into alpha-numeric signal data, for example, by a scanner and dictionary lookup, which is then analyzed to determine the proper phrase category, e.g., subject, verb, object, etc., of word intervals, and assign pause, stress, duration, pitch and intensity values to the words.

Speech synthesis by concatenation of formant encoded words
TL;DR: The speech produced by most audio response units is noticeably artifical and mechanical sounding as discussed by the authors, which makes it difficult to distinguish between real speech and synthesized speech. But the response units can select speech sounds, stored in analog or coded digital form, as the excitation for a speech synthesizer, for example in telephone audio announcement terminals.
