  SPACT (phase 1 and 2) - Application of speech recognition/synthesis technology in the MIR space station
  Summary

  Project with the aim to equip a workstation, used for scientific experiments on the MIR space station, with speech input/output facilities. The task of the TCD group was to select the most appropriate speech synthesis system and adapt it to the user situation, e.g., by selecting/designing the voice quality parameters that would be used in messages to signal caution, warnings etc. In spite of the well know problems with MIR, the output of this project did make it into orbit.
