In this paper, we review research on the perception and comprehension of synthetic speech produced by rule. We discuss the difficulties that synthetic speech causes for the listener and the evidence that the immediate result of those difficulties is a delay in the point at which words are recognized. We then argue that this delay in processing affects not only lexical access but also comprehension processes. We consider the mechanisms by which the comprehension system adjusts to this delay, the resulting costs to higher level comprehension processes, and the changes that occur in the language processing system as its familiarity with synthetic speech increases. Based on the framework we have developed, we suggest several directions for future research on the comprehension of synthetic speech.
在本文中，我们回顾了关于规则合成语音的感知与理解的研究。我们讨论了合成语音给听众带来的困难，以及这些困难的直接结果是单词识别点延迟的证据。然后我们认为，这种处理延迟不仅会影响词汇通达，还会影响理解过程。我们考虑了理解系统适应这种延迟的机制、对更高层次理解过程产生的代价，以及随着对合成语音的熟悉程度增加，语言处理系统中发生的变化。基于我们所构建的框架，我们为合成语音理解的未来研究提出了几个方向。
