Could you please send me some info on that speech chip. I purchased one about a year ago but it was $50.00. I would like to get some more so if you have an address I would apreciate it. Thanks in advance Scott Miles ihnp4!zehntel!zps!digger

(Sorry about the misspellings)
I recently completed a speech synthesizer based on the General Instruments
SP0256-AL2 for less than $20. This chip is identical to the one Radio Shack
is selling except that instead of having the numbers 0 thru 9 programmed in
it has 64 allophones for unlimitited vocabularys. However I have not found
any decent articles on Word synthesis with allophones. As I am currently
attempting to create a dictionary of words, I was wondering if anyone else
had set up this chip and developed some words? My hit and miss attempts
are usually sucessful but the rate of 5 words per session is a bit slow.
Pointers Appreciated...
