    <Paragraph position="0"> We have described a text-to-speech parser for conversational texts generated by users of TDD's. The parser's main ta-ck.~ are to provide some regularization of non-standard items and to determine prosodic phrasing of the text. Phrasing allows processing to take place in near real time because the synthesizer can generate speech while the TDD message is being typed instead of waiting for the finished text. FinaUy, although incorporating a relatively small vocabulary and rule set, the parser has proven unexpectedly successful in both laboratory and field tests,</Paragraph>
