Page Under Construction
Introduction
- Digital Speech Generation, as the name suggests, is the process of making a computer "speak" a sequence of letters/words in a meaningful way.
- For English, this is especially hard, because it is a very un-mathematical language.
- What I mean by unmathematical, is that the "a" in "apple" is not pronounced the same way as the "a" in "hate".

Resources
- While the page gets worked on, here are some really cool web-pages about speech and phonetics that I came across in my research:
- The Upenn course slides are particularly good. http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Fall_2008/ling520/week1/week1.pdf .You can change the week number at the end of the hyperlink to access the other slides.
- This page is good to hear what different parts of the phonetic alphabet sound like. http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm
- Also, on the UPenn webpage http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Fall_2008/ling520/ try the links to the labs they have some interesting stuff
