A public demonstration of a rudimentary speech processing system consisting of a speech analyzer, language translator, type decoder, and speech synthesizer was given at the Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in New York, May 23–26, 1962. Each word spoken into the microphone was analyzed, converted to a syllable code, transmitted as a syllable code, synthesized to speech, or converted to the typed page either in the same language or other languages. The two language inputs were English and French, the synthesized speech outputs were English, French, and Spanish and the typed outputs were English, French, German, and Spanish.
