  abstract =     "DECtalk is a mature text-to-speech synthesis
                 technology that Digital has sold as a series of
                 hardware products for more than ten years. Originally
                 developed by Digital's Assistive Technology Group (ATG)
                 as an alternative to a character-cell terminal and for
                 telephony applications, today DECtalk also provides
                 visually handicapped people access to information.
                 DECtalk uses a digital formant synthesizer to simulate
                 the human vocal tract. Before the advent of the Alpha
                 processor, the computational demands of this
                 synthesizer placed an extreme load on a workstation.
                 DECtalk Software has an application programming
                 interface (API) that is supported on multiple platforms
                 and multiple operating systems. This paper describes
                 the various text-to-speech technologies, the DECtalk
                 Software architecture, and the API. The paper also
                 reports our experience in porting the DECtalk code base
                 from the previous hardware platform.",
