Can anyone recommend a good speech synthesis chip that costs under $30 (or so) and accepts pure text input? I've used the (ancient) Votrax SC-01 in two of my projects but it lacks intelligible output and requires the text input to be broken down into phonemes (sp?). The same goes for the SPO-256. -- ____ ____ ____ ____ |____| |____| | | | CSNET: lansd%eecg.toronto.edu |____ |____ |____ |____| ARPA: lansd%eecg.toronto.edu@relay.cs.net | Electrical Engineering Computer Group, ____| University of Toronto.

The only text-speech chip I can think of is the one Radio Shack sells...
but that's for use with the GI's SPO-256. Perhaps you could use that
text-speech chip with another allophone synthesizer. An EPROM could do simple
conversion from one chip's phonem codes to another's.
