Abstract

A system for generating synthetic human speech is disclosed in which digital filter coefficients stored in digital form are addressed, multiplied by generated excitation signals, D-A converted and converted into sound. In addition, the system includes a voiced-unvoiced excitation circuit and a speech parameter interpolator. The system is controlled by a microprocessor.
