Abstract

In a text to speech system, digital text ASCII is examined for syllable boundaries to help accent generation for speech synthesis, and hyphenation in word processing. Digital allophone code characters in the form of a byte string are compared with prestored rules. Byte string segments which may comprise consonant clusters, and left and right adjacent environments thereof are examined.
