ABSTRACT:
A conversion system which checks a word for exceptions; converts the word to phonemes utilizing sentence structure and word structure; and finally, converts the phonemes to LPC parameters. When an exception is found in the first stage the correct phonemes may be provided or an alternate spelling or set of rules may be used to provide the correct phonemes. The LPC parameters are then smoothed, to produce a continuous speech pattern, and then transmitted. This results in the conversion of a computer network signal to a voice network signal.
