Integrated speech engine (ISE) technology on a computer refers to the combination of text appearing on the computer display together with the computer speaking that text aloud with a digitized or synthesized voice. Digitized speech is a recorded (or digitized) human voice speaking, and synthesized voice is a computer-generated voice speaking the text. This project focuses on ISE software tools that use synthesized speech to read any text.
There are a wide range of ISE software tools available. Shareware programs are available via the Internet from shareware sites such as www.tucows.com. If you search for integrated speech engine (with and without the hyphens) you can locate inexpensive or freely available software. Typically shareware and freeware programs are limited in their capability; however, they are useful for trying out the technology.

ABSTRACT Text-to-speech (TTS) technology on a computer refers to the combination of text appearing on the computer display together with the computer speaking that text aloud with a digitized or synthesized voice. Digitized speech is a recorded (or digitized) human voice speaking, and synthesized voice is a computer-generated voice speaking the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The effect of spent engine oil on soil properties and growth of Spinach (Spinacia olereacea) was investigated. Five treatments (0, 20, 40, 60, 80)ml of the spent oil were applied to soil in perforated poly bags with Spinach strands at four weeks after stabilization. Soil analysis showed that spent engine oil had no effect on both the pH... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT A speech act or stylistics analysis is the study of literary and non-literary texts using linguistic and literary descriptions. The aim of this research work was a speech act analysis of Akachi adimora-ezeigbo’s Trafficked . The study critically analysed the data through the use of some levels of stylistic description namely;... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Everyone uses the computer for one reason or the other. For those with poor eye sight, it is always a problem to read texts from screen, either due to small font-size or bad eye sight. This has led to the design of a text to speech system capable of converting written texts to speech.. TSpeech synthesis systems are often called... Continue Reading
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study The disposal of spent engine oil (SEO) into gutters, water drains, open vacant plots and farms is a common practice in Nigeria especially by motor mechanics. This oil, also called spent lubricant or waste engine... Continue Reading
