The SenSyn Laboratory Speech Synthesizer makes available to researchers and commercial research institutions our own code for the best and most widely used speech synthesizer, KLSYN88. SenSyn can be used in research and non-commercial product development. The SenSyn package includes the complete source code, detailed instructions for installation and use, and an 80-page unpublished book chapter by Dennis Klatt describing the function and use of KLSYN88.

SenSyn is written in ANSI Standard C, and includes only source code (no executables). The code should compile and run on any system running UNIX. This version has a very simple user interface: numeric (keyboard) input with no graphics or mouse routines. The synthesized waveforms are output as binary files (16-bit resolution). The program itself includes no capabilities for D/A conversion or audio output.
