In addition to work on the augmentation language, we are designing intelligent debugging and editing facilities. Speech Synthesis We are currently concentrating on the development of simple and efficient software systems which produce speech from written text or phonemic transcription. Our research system understands sets of rules written in a simplified version of the format used by linguists for phonological rules. We are beginning to do research into algorithms for generating prosodies such as pitch, stress, and duration, Research at Texas Instruments, Inc. William M. Fisher, James A. Hendler, Tom P.
