- Evaluating a SpeakJet® speech synthetiser. I'd love to add this to the CFT's list of (still vapourware) peripherals.
For those who just tuned in, the SpeakJet® is a recently made speech syntheser, similar in operation to the now hard to find Votrax synthesisers, but with more features. This is a test of this device.
The CFT is an ongoing project to make a 16-bit 1960s style mini computer out of 74xxx chips. In the process, '1960s' turned to 'also 70s', and is now 'also 80s, with maybe a tiny bit of the 90s thrown in' - the plans include a front panel, but also a video card, IDE adapter and audio.
Such a beautiful sound. Man I love vintage hardware based speech synthesis!
Still got my 40 yr old Voxclock 2 and Sharp EL-640 calculator. Lost interest as soon as digitally stored real voices arrived on the market. SPO256-AL2 was brilliant fun on my ZX Spectrum around the same time too!
