ABSTRACT:
Interactive system for manipulating the dictionaries used in text to speech conversion systems. The text to speech conversion system includes a system for converting text to a phonemic representation thereof according to rules and a system for generating speech output which pronounces a text from a phonemic representation of the text. The dictionaries contain phonemic representations of texts which are incorrectly converted by the text to phonemic representation conversion system. The interactive system includes input apparatus for receiving dictionary manipulation commands including a play command from a user of the interactive system and a command execution system for receiving the dictionary manipulation commands and executing them. Included in the command execution system is a play command execution system which executes the play command by providing a phonemic representation involved in a dictionary manipulation to the text to phonemic representation conversion system, thereby providing the user with immediate feedback regarding the correctness of the phonemic representation. Further disclosed are a dictionary scanning system, a dictionary entry generator, and a dictionary entry editor incorporating the invention.
