For research purposes, I would like to synthesize a long
speech stream with no breaks between syllables. I have
been having problems doing so. DecTalk's limited buffer makes
this impossible. The new Speech Manager synthesizer on the
Mac also seems to have limits in the amount of speech it
will produce without introducing a pause. If anyone has
any suggestions, either about synthesizers which will do
this, or about how (and if) one can manipulate either DecTalk
or the Speech Manager, please let me know -- I would love
some suggestions.
Thankis
