Since 1994, Environment Canada has relied upon a text-to-voice generating system called AVIPADS (Automated Voice Information Processing and Dissemination System) to deliver its forecasts, hourly weather reports, and a host of other voice products to its own network of ATADs (Automatic Telephone Answering Devices) and weather radios, in English and French. By using a vocabulary of almost 40,000 words and phrases recorded by a human to give a natural sounding product with proper inflections and intonations and by concatenating them into voice files, AVIPADS now records over almost all of the basic level of service that Environment Canada provides on its voice recording network in both official languages. 1, record 1, English, - Automated%20Voice%20Information%20Processing%20and%20Dissemination%20System
