I remember that there was software in the public domain that took english
text and from a set of rules output phonomes to have a speach synthesizer
talk. This was about 7 years ago when I had an S-100 (Pre IBM-PC). The
other aspect of this software that I remember is that I think was developed
by the U.S. Navy (but the last might be wrong). Does this ring any bells
for any one to help this guy (?) out.
