  2. WHO IS STEPHEN HAWKING?

  3. Stephen Hawking was born in London, England on January 8, 1942.

  4. Stephen enjoyed math and science in school where he earned the nickname "Einstein."

  5. Diagnosedwith ALS

  6. What kind of disease Stephen Hawking has?

  7. Motor NeuronDisease

  8. What is Motor Neuron Disease?

  9. What are couses of Motor Neuron Disease?

  10. NOT KNOWN

  11. How are motor neuron diseases treated?

  12. There is NO cure.

  13. HAWKING'S FIRST SOFTWARE PROGRAM

  14. Walter Woltosz developed Hawking’s first software program that allowed him to spell by clicking a button with his hand. The software, called Equalizer, would be developed with Woltosz’s company Words Plus, and different versions arose, including EZ Keys which Hawking currently uses.

  15. Stephen Hawking's voice is one of the most recognized in the world, and it's synthetic. A tiny IR sensor let him twich his cheek to spell and speak words.

  16. FİRST AUDIBLE SPEECH

  17. David Mason, of Cambridge Adaptive Communication assembled the first computer that could run Equalizer on Hawking’s wheelchair and convert the text to audible speech.

  18. THE MUSCLE SENSOR

  19. Eventually, Hawking lost the fine control of his hand. Luckily Blackburn, help develop a custom fix: an IR sensor that triggers off of twitches in the cheek muscle under the eye. The following video shows Blackburn explaining the device. • http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/2010/03/100312_blackburn_video.shtml

  20. Speech Synthesiser

  21. The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its similarity to the human voice and by its ability to be understood. • A text-to-speech system (or "engine") is composed of two parts: • a front-end and a back-end. The front-end has two major tasks. • First, it converts raw text containing symbols like numbers and abbreviations into the equivalent of written-out words. • The front-end then assigns phonetic transcriptions to each word, and divides and marks the text into prosodic units

  22. How sythesiszerswork?

  23. Prosody: song sung to music; pronunciation of syllable. • prosodic units:(phrases, clauses, and sentences.)

  24. There are two major synthesis types. • These are concatenative synthesis and formant synthesis. • Concatenative synthesis is based on stringing together segments of recorded speech. • Formantsynthesis technology generate artificial, robotic-sounding speech that would never be mistaken for human speech • Butdoes not use a large database.

  25. SynthesisTypes.

  26. There are two major synthesis types. • These are concatenative synthesis and formant synthesis. • Concatenative synthesis is based on stringing together segments of recorded speech. • formant synthesis technology generate artificial, robotic-sounding speech that would never be mistaken for human speech • but does not use a large database.
