We describe a flexible, modular system for representation of a text-to-speech system which provides for ease of understanding, facile development, a variety of end-use systems, exportability, and ready implementation into novel technology to meet real-time needs. This system thus serves as a research base, a framework for experimentation, and the seat of structural formalisms which can imply special hardware processors. Since the relation of the surface speech waveform to the underlying linguistic description is becoming increasingly complex, we expect that the virtues of this approach will become necessities rather than conveniences.

Digital signal processing has cone full circle from software algorithms performed on general purpose computers through special purpose, dedicated, real time processors to the programmable signal/array processor. The Programmable Number Thresher (PNTJT) is an addition to the list and its organization and features is described. The PNUT is intended primarily for the linear front end computations required in many signal processing applications. It has a high speed, pipelined arithmetic unit which is kept busy by means of data transfers through several levels of memory - with all operations and transfers under microprogram control. In fact, a high speed bipolar microprogrammed controller is replicated several times to handle the data transfer and system management functions. The design utilizes LSI and VLSI devices that have recently become available and some are described.

A two-band compression system is being designed to improve the intelligibility of speech in noise for persons suffering from sensori-neural hearing impairment, The compressor is microprocessor based allowing variable thresholds, compression ratios above threshold, and expansion below threshold. The compressor will have significantly lower cost than commercial units based completely on analog devices. Although the compressor is too large to be used as a hearing aid, it has potential as a speech trainer in a one-to-one basis between teacher and student or a multi-student environment where many of the devices may be time-shared among students.
