How it works
The TS-04 Speaker performs text-to-speech synthesis based on concatenative samples. The units for sampling can vary from whole words down to phoneme markers. A corpus of pre-recorded words is stored in onboard Flash Memory using patented multilevel storage (MLS) memory and a mapping of the various sub-word parts is held in a lookup table. The speech creation concatenates speech elements to produce words. Speech may be generated in real time, with unlimited vocabulary. Speed and volume generation are keyboard controlled after power-up.
The system process flow includes Data reception, text normalization, phoneme mapping, MLS, memory and audio D/A conversion.
External keyboards are interfaced via auto-detecting PS/2 or USB keyboard connectors.
