                 SYNTHESIZER DRIVER NUMBER 18

                    TELEVOX PSOLA 8M CARD
                 (ELAN INFORMATIQUE, CNETVOX)




    I. Loading parameters.


    I-1. REMINDER: SYNTAX TO RUN THE PROGRAM VOXPARLE.

    - FROM ANY DISK DIRECTORY:
       set voxparle=c:\voxparle
       C:\VOXPARLE\DRIVER OPTION
       C:\VOXPARLE\VOXPARLE

    - From VOXPARLE directory:
       DRIVER OPTION
       VOXPARLE

    OPTION is the loading option and is different according to
the synthesizer; DRIVER is the synthesizer driver; VOXPARLE is
the main program.


    I-2. Additional programs.

    Before being used, the Tlvox Psola 8M card must be
initialized. To do so, additional program must be loaded in
the PC memory and on the card before running VOXPARLE. Those
files are located in a directory named \ELANXX8M where XX
represents the language code. The user must run the program
called PSOLA before loading VOXPARLE.


    I-3. TLVX_P8M driver.

    Here, OPTION stands for the number of the card to use,
knowing that up to four PSOLA 8M cards may cohabit in the same
machine. The number can vary from 1 to 4, depending on the
choice.
    DRIVER is the name of the file corresponding to the speech
synthesizer, namely TLVX_P8M.

    Example: to use the synthesizer on the communication
channel number 1, the correct syntax is:

    - From any disk directory:
       SET  VOXPARLE=C:\VOXPARLE
       C:\VOXPARLE\TLVX_P8M 1
       C:\VOXPARLE\VOXPARLE

    - From VOXPARLE directory:
       TLVX_P8M 1
       VOXPARLE

    I-4. COMPLETE SYNTAX.

    - From any disk directory:
       C:\ELANXX8M\PSOLA
       SET VOXPARLE=C:\VOXPARLE
       C:\VOXPARLE\TLVX_P8M 1
       C:\VOXPARLE\VOXPARLE

    - From VOXPARLE directory:
       C:\ELANXX8M\PSOLA
       TLVX_P8M 1
       VOXPARLE
