Improved input methods for CHATR

Abstract:In this report, I describe the work I did during the last six months. After a brief overview of the way CHATR works, especially in the field of prosody and multi-lingual input, I explain how we can make the speech sound more human with the use of a parser. Then I introduce interactive prosody prediction, and discuss the functionalities that should be present in CHATR to achieve this goal. Finally, I describe the work done with multi-lingual input, and show how texts containing more than one language can be processed.
