ABSTRACT:
An enhanced text-to-speech synthesizer accepts freely generated text sequences of words and synthesizes the received sequences with proper emphasis and with properly placed pauses. In combination with other elements, the synthesizer provides for an enhanced Dual Party Relay Service where the text generated by the sound-impaired party is synthesized without an attendant's intervention. The text generated by users is made more intelligible by interpreting abbreviations, correcting errors (misspellings and "noise"), translating special terms that are used by the community of users, de-emphasizing words based on syntactic considerations and inserting pauses to enhance intelligibility.
