I'd like to teach the narrator to speak Hebrew.
(When it is done, it will be PD).
Especially I need help in the following topics:
1. How to write a "device" for the Amiga.
2. How to convert words into their phonetics (are there special rules,
   plus some special words, and some rules how to split long words that
   start with "dis" or end with "tion"?, or is there some other algorithm).
3. How to add the intonation (sp?) to the sentence - when to raise
   the voice, and when to lower it.
4. Can I add it to the existing device (so it can talk both Hebrew
   and English).
5. Any other help which might be important.
Thanks,
        Goren
