The Lis'ner 1000 board used an SP1000 -- an LPC coding chip to do the speech-parametrization. The SP256 was an optional add-on that would do speech-output; it wasn't used by the recoginition mechanism at all. The relevant article was reprinted in Ciarcia's Circuit Cellars Volume 5. ~art baker | "Whatever happened to Fay Wrey, (usual disclaimers) | that delicate, satin-draped frame..." -------------------------------------------------------------------
