Abstract
An application-independent, text-to-speech control system which employs an easy-to-use transport from which a user can control most text-to-speech conversion functions without prior training. It provides a control means by which user designated areas may be sequentially selected, stored and played. Furthermore, moving back and forward through user-selected text may be controlled by the user, with the synthesized speech output maintaining the proper pauses and inflections.
