I'm trying to decide on a chip to use for a voice synthesis project I'm 
about to undertake.  Does anyone have a suggestion regarding some good
quality voice synthesis chips?

I've looked into the NS DigiTalker chip set, but it is a vocabulary based
chip, which makes it a poor choice for my application (I'd like to
have an unlimited vocabulary).  Other possibilities I've looked at are
chips by Hitachi and Synergetics.

I am also looking for a good phoneme analysis algorithm (or a short
sample program).  If anyone has such an algorithm (even if it's 
chip specific), I'd be interested in seeing it.

Please send me mail regarding this. If there's interest, I'll post
a summary of responses to the net.

Thanks,

kevinj (Kevin Jackson)
