     MULTILINGUAL TEXT-TO-SPEECH SYNTHESIS
     The Bell Labs Approach

     edited by Richard Sproat
     Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies

     Foreword by Louis Pols, University of Amsterdam

     MULTILINGUAL TEXT-TO-SPEECH SYNTHESIS: The Bell Labs Approach is the
     first monograph-length description of the Bell Labs work on
     multilingual text-to-speech synthesis.  Every important aspect of the
     system is described, including text analysis, segmental timing,
     intonation and synthesis.  There is also a discussion of evaluation
     methodologies, as well as a chapter outlining some future areas of
     research.   While the book focuses on the Bell Labs approach to the
     various problems of converting from text into speech, other approaches
     are discussed and compared.   This book serves both the function of
     providing a single reference to an important strand of research in
     multilingual synthesis, while at the same time providing a source of
     information on current trends in the field.
