چکیده

A number of speech-producing technical aids are now available for use by disabled individuals. One system which produces synthetic speech is described and its application in technical aids discussed. These applications inclde a communication aid, a symbol-to-speech system, talking terminals and a daily newspaper. A pattern-matching speech recognition system is also described and its future in the area of technical aids discussed. Introduction Because speech is the most natural way for people to communicate with each other, there has been a great deal of interest in the use of synthetic speech and stored or concatenated speech in technical aids for blind and nonvocal individuals. A number of devices are now on the
