Friends and friendesses, Dynavox took the bait, Their Tech Services Manager asked for full contact information so it could be forwarded to the Engineers in R&D and I've accepted David's kind offer to "prod' them.
I hope that adapting this technology in the relatively few Dynavox devices out in the marketplace does not dampen PG Music's zeal for the concept. However, all Dynavox users would certainly be prime sales prospects for BIAB.

If they've got low-level control of the synthesized voice frequency, it shouldn't be terribly difficult for Dynavox to create a musical pitch contour to drive the voice. Sinsy appears to be owned by the HTS (HMM-based Speech Synthesis System) working group. It looks like they license their tools under a Modified BSD License, which is very cool. There are a number of interesting text-to-speech tools that use HMMs (Hidden Markov Models), but singing creates an additional complexity of creating an adequately large corpus of training data. The only paper I've been able to find on Sinsy is 99% Japanese, and Google's translation is a bit of a mess, but it notes because parts of Sinsy use the HTK license, commercial use is prohibited. So I guess we don't need to worry about it being bought out by a company. That also explains why the paper I referenced focused on converting speech into singing.

Hi David,
what a great impulse!
Now I've tasted blood.
I will pursuit that matter.
A vast field for experiments.
Your "words like smoke" didn't sound so bad. (especially mix 2).
Thank you very much for the input.

Here is a Christmas song in English that makes use of Sinsy, with video: http://youtu.be/FezfuU6n_Sw Not as good as the Ave Maria, I admit. But still interesting.
