 Speech synthesis - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Speech synthesis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Speech synthesis systems use two basic approaches to determine the pronunciation of a word based on its spelling, a process which is often called text-to-phoneme or grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, as phoneme is the term used by linguists to describe distinctive sounds in a language.
Speech synthesis systems for languages like this often use the rule-based approach as the core approach for text-to-phoneme conversion, resorting to dictionaries only for those few words, like foreign names and borrowings, whose pronunciation is not obvious from the spelling.
Speech synthesis markup languages should be distinguished from dialogue markup languages such as VoiceXML, which includes, in addition to text-to-speech markup, tags related to speech recognition, dialogue management and touchtone dialing.

Speech coding is the compression of speech (into a code) for transmission with speech codecs that use audio signal processing and speech processing techniques.
The techniques used in speech coding are similar to that in audio compression and audio coding where knowledge in psychoacoustics is used to transmit only data that is relevant to the human auditory system.
Usually, speech coding and channel coding methods have to be chosen in pairs, with the more important bits in the speech data stream protected by more robust channel coding, in order to get the best overall coding results.

 ElizabethI
In the Tilbury speech, Elizabeth, herself, is being constructed as ruler of England, against the threats of foreign domination posed by the duke of Parma and Phillip II of Spain.
The "Tilbury" speech addresses the troops and (implicitly) the nation, a concept Elizabeth is in the process of creating out of the multiple chains of loyalties which constituted the medieval English people.
The "Golden Speech" was printed shortly before the Restoration brought back Charles II to rule under close Parliamentary supervision when the "Protectorate" of Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans failed to devise a strategy to transfer power after the general's death.

The matter became pressing because the monarchy passed on by inheritance, and it was normally expected that a monarch would marry in order to ensure a smooth transition of government.
In this speech, though, Elizabeth hints that she will not marry and that she trusts God will provide a better heir than she herself would be able to produce.
The speech is also important because in it she promises her kingdom that she will never abandon them to a foreign prince (as Mary had) or to a crisis of secession.
