Speech synthesis

• Audio Examples for different methods of speech synthesis,
• Here is the code as listed in The Perl Journal article. It needs a method for reading in the audio data into tables; this is provided in the phonebox package.
• The complete source for phonebox is destined to be at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~lenzo/phonebox/code/.
• t2p: letter-to-phoneme coverter builder lets you build letter-to-sound converters given a dictionary of pronunciations as examples.
