ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for performing phonemic synthesis which operate to generate an output data set of acoustic B parameters from a received textual data set wherein the output data set represents patterns of transition from one speech excitation state to another. The textual data set is converted to a plurality of phonetic data sets, at least one phone descriptor is assigned to each of the phonemic data sets, and the output data set is generated by processing the phonetic data sets as a non-linear function of a speech excitation control variable whereby the collective contributions of the phonetic data sets are determined for each pattern of transition from one speech excitation state to another. The speech excitation control variable represents selected portions of a human vocal system.
