Prolly larger, since you'd haveto record all manner of pronunciations,
inflections, and
voices. Plus the data indexing the 100 or so recordings of each word in every
human
language. I'd record data on the freq spectrum of phenomes (relative dimensions
of
each freq, etc), for phemomes. This way, they can be tuned for playback by
pitch,
harmonics, echo, and blending for playback as parts of words, no matter what the
spoken language.
Kat,
thinking back to the discrete processing board she came close to making, using a
hundred LM566 osc chips and even more tuneable-tracking phaselocked bootstrapped
twin-t notch filters.
