2, Bell Labs in 1939 produced the first electronic speech synthesizer VODER, is a kind of use *** vibration of the principle of the synthesizer produced.?

3, in 1960, Swedish linguist G. Fant proposed the use of linear predictive coding (LPC) as a speech synthesis analysis techniques, and promote the future development.

4. In the 1980s, Moulines E and Charpentier F proposed a new speech synthesis algorithm called PSOLA, which can synthesize more natural speech.
