For a home computer yes, but DECTalk had already come out in 1983 which, though primitive, did still sound significantly better. Though in fairness DECTalk ran on a dedicated hardware unit based on the 68K processor. Fun fact: it's actually the TTS that's emulated by the game Moonbase Alpha.

Oh shit I had forgotten about this speech generator. I remember doing all sorts of dialogue with it as a kid just for fun. I tried to make it sound like my first language Finnish by using its English phonetics. 😄
I did this for German, having to figure out which phonemes could be used, as there were only English ones. The Extras 1.3 disk for Germany included a routine in BASIC with some, but not all mappings.

I like how the program throws shade on the creator of this video by pronouncing I’m “im” as in “him” because the original creator didn’t spell it I’m, they spelled it “Im.”
