Abstract

This paper presents the Korean text-to-speech (TTS) algorithm with speed and intonation control capability, and describes the development of the Voice message delivery system employing this TTS algorithm. This system allows the Interpersonal Messaging (IPM) Service users of Message Handling System (MHS) to send his/her text messages to user via telephone line using synthetic voice. In the X.400 MHS recommendation, the protocols and service elements are not specified for the voice message delivery system. Thus, we defined access protocol and service elements for Voice Access Unit based on the application program interface for message transfers between X.400 Message Transfer Agent and Voice Access Unit. The system architecture and operations will be provided.
