TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe a speech encoding apparatus that includes means for analyzing and encoding the spoken version of the message to be encoded and means for combining the codes of the corresponding written message with the code of the spoken message, and for generating a combination code containing the data of the duration and pitch of the alophones of the coded message.Abstract:
A speech encoding apparatus characterized in that it includes means (2) for analyzing and encoding the spoken version of the message to be encoded and means (3) for combining the codes of the corresponding written message with the codes of the spoken message, and for generating a combination code containing the data of the duration and pitch of the alophones of the coded message.read more

Electronic Devices with Voice Command and Contextual Data Processing Capabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronic device may capture a voice command from a user and store contextual information about the state of the electronic device when the voice command is received, such as a desktop computer or a remote server.
Patent
Crowd sourcing information to fulfill user requests
TL;DR: In this article, a failure to provide a satisfactory response to a user request is detected and information relevant to the user request was crowd-sourced by querying one or more crowd sourcing information sources.
Patent
Device access using voice authentication
TL;DR: In this paper, a speech input can be compared to a voiceprint (e.g., text-independent voiceprint) of the user's voice to authenticate the user to the device.

Text-to-speech synthesis system
TL;DR: In this paper, a text-to-speech synthesis system receives digital code representative of characters from a local or remote source, and converts those character codes into speech, and a set of allophone rules is contained in a memory and each incoming character set is matched with the proper character set to describe the sound of that particular character set.

A preliminary design of a phonetic vocoder based on a diphone model
TL;DR: On the initial development of a phonetic vocoder operating at 100 b/s, the vocoder transmits the duration and a single pitch value with each phoneme, and the synthesizer uses a large inventory of diphone templates to synthesize a desired phoneme string.
