Abstract
Previously developed procedures for controlling the pitch
and rhythm of synthetic speech by markers in the input phonetic text have
been adapted for the Votrax ML-I speech synthesizer. The aim is not
necessarily to advocate these procedures, but rather to show that
existing knowledge about prosodic features of speech can be adapted
to the Votrax device. Also described are rules for translating
International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions into Votrax sound
segments, which incorporate many of the hints for allophone adjustment
that are given in the Votrax manual.
