The old notes file contained a short discussion around speech generation, mostly inquiries for PD programs/sources that do text to speech translation. If anyone is interested, I just came across an old usenet posting of sources for a text to PHONEME program. The files can be copied from MILRAT::DISK$USER3:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST.PHONEME]*.* Does anyone have any ideas on (or pointers to articles on) how to convert phonemes to speech? Ray

75.1 | when the chips are down ... | DEMING::HLQAR | Thu Dec 22 1988 07:14 | 11 | |
Radio Shock sells two chips to be used concurrently to convert text to ASCII, and then from ASCII to speech. One of the numbers is SPO256, the other I can't remember off the top of my head. The ASCII to speech chip uses some external circuitry and a dedicated internal microprocessor to compare consecutive letters against an onboard rom which contains phoneme rules. You have the option of having separate rom for exceptions, additional ram for increased I/O buffer space, and (externally) programmable handshaking. Speedo the Great | |||||
75.2 | Radio Shack's a ripoff ! | MOVIES::FORSTER | Thu Dec 22 1988 07:29 | 6 | |
If you live in the UK, don't buy the SP0256 from Radio Shack. Buy it from the Maplins catalogue for about one third the price. The catalogue also features a circuit diagram showing how to hook the thing up to computer and amplifier/loudspeaker. Works fine ! Dave. | |||||

RE -1 That's probably true for distributors in the US, as well. The other chip number just came to me ... ATS256 (I think). That was the ASCII conversion chip. It's been a while since I've played with them, but I think I was wrong last time. The ATS converts ASCII to a code that the SPO can use; then the SPO generates the phoneme from its rom.
