Accent is a high-quality, text-to-speech convertor, developed by Aicom
Corporation.  Accent can be plugged directly into any  IBM PC,  or any 
compatible. Accent's software device drivers for IBM PC allow the user 
to command Accent with any of the Languages such as BASIC, PASCAL,  C,
Assembly, etc..  For the stand-alone models,  the  RS-232C serial port
is provided for interface with any computer.

In normal operation, Accent will convert the ASCII text into  ordinary 
speech.  There  are  pronunciation  rules  for  special words with two 
pronunciations,  for abbreviations,  for the dollar sign, for numbers, 
and for other special signs  as well as rules  that  will  accommodate 
intonation  which  arises  from  sentence  punctuation  marks.  Speech 
parameters, including speech rate, average pitch, sentence intonation,
and many others, may be programmed through software commands. 

Without  mentioning  all  Accent's options and features,  Accent would 
like to let you know that  its  vocabulary is larger  than  the 20,000 
most commonly used words.  As  to  the  quality,  you  may  judge  for 
yourself. And finally, Aicom Corporation thanks and congratulates you, 
for having purchased this high-quality, affordable product, Accent.
