ABSTRACT:
One or more prerecorded sounds are used as a voice source in a speech synthesizer to provide unique synthetic speech sounds. Recording one or more sound samples and then utilizing a speech synthesizer with the capability to select among and between the sound samples as the voice source to the speech synthesizer provides a higher quality and greater variety of possible synthetic speech sounds. This is particularly true when the multiplicity of voice sources are predetermined to have certain desired sound qualities and spectral content such as may be desired to provide synthetic speech of inanimate objects and animals or atypical speech qualities to human synthetic speech.
