Abstract
In a transmission of voice data, the stream of voice data is first decomposed into phonemes. For each phoneme a code symbol which is assigned to that specific phoneme in a selectable voice-specific and/or speaker-specific phoneme catalog is transmitted to a voice synthesizer at the transmission destination. The amount of data which has to be transmitted is generally greatly reduced. The decomposition of the stream of voice data into phonemes is carried out by a neural network which is trained to detect the phonemes stored in the selected voice-specific and/or speaker-specific phoneme catalog. The voice synthesizer reconverts the stream of received code symbols into a sequence of phonemes and outputs it.
