7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

As a real System-On-Chip solution, the WTS701 performs the overall control functions for host

controller and text-to-speech processing.

The WTS701 system architecture consists of the following functions:

•

Serial interface to monitor the SPI port and interpret commands and data

•

Text normalization module to pre-process incoming text into pronounceable words

•

Words to phoneme translator, which converts incoming text to phoneme codes

•

Phoneme mapping module that maps incoming phonemes to words, sub-words, syllables or

phonemes present in the MLS memory

•

Volume and speed adjustments

•

Digital and analog output blocks for off-chip usage

The WTS701 system performs text-to-speech synthesis based on concatenative samples. The units

for concatenation can vary from whole words down to phoneme units. The convention is that the

larger the sub-word unit used for synthesis the higher the quality of the speech output. A corpus of

pre-recorded words is stored in Winbond’s patented multilevel storage (MLS) memory and a mapping

of the various sub-word parts is held in a lookup table. The speech creation is achieved by

concatenation of these speech elements to produce words. The system process flow is shown in

Figure 5.
