NAME
     srusyn - JSRU parallel-formant speech synthesizer with  live
     output

SYNOPSIS
     srusyn (-I) (-p parfil) (-g glotfil) (-o outname) (-s)  (-t)
     (controlfile)

DESCRIPTION
     srunsyn20 is a software implementation of a parallel-formant
     speech  synthesizer.  It is a "C"-language implementation of
     the FORTRAN software synthesizer of JSRU report 1016.  It is
     based on the original SFS 'soft' synthesizer but modified to
     take parameter tables as input and  output  binary  or  live
     data.   The  default action is to generate and play the com-
     pleted waveform using the SFS replay functions.  A switch

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I   Identify program name and version number, then exit.

     -pparamfile
                Use the parameter file paramfile instead  of  the
                default  parameter file.  More information on the
                parameter file may be found in parfil(5).

     -gglottalfile
                Read the glottal pulse  shape  and  glottal  area
                from  the file glottalfile instead of the parame-
                ter file.  The format for a glottal  file  is  an
                ASCII  file  containing  two  lists  of  integers
                separated by  spaces.   The  first  list  has  72
                entries  in the range -127 to +127 and represents
                the glottal pulse shape.  The second list has  18
                entries  in  the range 0 to 15 and represents the
                glottal area.

     -ooutname  Selects binary output data format and filename.

     -s         Selects SPARC audio output.   This  is  performed
                simultaneously  with  conversion  and  so may not
                keep up on loaded or slow systems.

     -t         Selects raw hexadecimal input in format  produced
                by text-to-speech system.

FILES
