Dial directory enquiries in a few years' time, and the chances are that the voice at the other end will come not from a human being, but from a machine. And this mechanical utterance will be more than a collection of pre-recorded phrases. It will be a synthesis of the basic elements that make up human speech.
In the first of two programmes Peter Evans examines the technology of speech synthesis, and talks to some of the machines and the people who trained them.

Caiaphas the Priest by JOSEF BOR translated and adapted by CAREY HARRISON
CAIAPHAS:
If I deny you the cross and let you live, Jehoschua, you will destroy our nation. I dare not set you free. Should I then have you stoned? Or deliver you to Pilate? I can only find that one offence in you - that of falsely proclaiming yourself a Messiah. Pilate will find a way to send you to the cross. And do you knowwhatyourpart will be, Jehoschua? That of a second Barabbas! The leader of a revolution! As If any man could free us from the fear of the cross, and overthrow the Empire. And yet, if It were the Messiah , If he were to die on the cross, of his own wishing, to give us his strength, his will! To give us faith? So many of us have died, and gained us nothing!
Now you come, seeking this death.... what do you want from me? What must I do? Can I hope that, after so many. one death will redeem a , people? I beg you. .. speak! Help me to understand!
