Abstract

An integrated circuit device or chip digitally synthesizes human speech employing a linear predictive filter and a variable frame rate. The variable frame rate provides a more natural speech by slowing or speeding the frame rate for a particular application used in a system which constructs the speech data to be synthesized from allophone codes.
