An unlimited, portable, text-to-speech synthesizer, Synte 2, is introduced. Since 1977, it has been applied and tested to the rehabilitation of the deaf and others unable to speak as well as to the rehabilitation of the blind. It has been shown to be beneficial to those people. With this system, it seems possible to markedly increase the concept capacity of the deaf. In audiology, it provides a new way to produce objective, everlasting, and ever-repeatable ordinary and sensitized speech tests. Further, the apparatus has innumerable applications in audiological and speech pathological research. This kind of speech synthesizer has come to stay in clinical use. General principles of the use of the synthesizer and experiences over 3 years in rehabilitation and medical research are discussed.
一款功能无限、便于携带的文本转语音合成器Synte 2问世。自1977年以来，它已应用于聋人及其他无法说话者的康复治疗以及盲人的康复治疗并进行了测试。事实证明，它对这些人有益。借助该系统，似乎有可能显著提高聋人的概念理解能力。在听力学方面，它为进行客观、持久且可重复的常规和敏感语音测试提供了一种新方法。此外，该仪器在听力学和言语病理学研究中有无数应用。这种语音合成器已在临床应用中站稳脚跟。本文讨论了合成器的使用总则以及在康复和医学研究中超过三年的经验。
