Speech Synthesizer
A device that is capable of accepting digital or analog data and developing intelligible speech sounds that correspond to the input data, without resorting to recorded sounds or without simply being a speech scrambler operating in reverse. This device is usually a computer keyboard that uses special software and hardware to create artificial speech. Such a system may be called a text-to-speech system.
