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?

| 75.1 | when the chips are down ... | DEMING::HLQAR | Thu Dec 22 1988 10:14 | 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.

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.
