Hi all, Does anyone know of any package for the GS that implements synthetic speech capabilities? Specifically, something along the lines of Macintalk for the Macintosh. For example, you could call it passing the parms: "Hello", 150, 150 ... where the numbers represent pitch and speed and the GS responds by saying "Hello". I would think that this would easily be within the realm of the GS given the Ensoniq chip and sound-related Toolbox calls. If one doesn't exist yet, then does anybody have an idea of what it would take to implement it and what sort of approach would work best? Better yet, is anyone willing to take a shot at it? -- Allan Belyea UUCP: 3755 Riverside Dr. Cognos Incorporated alb@cognos P.O.

ECHO! There is a program (requires a Card) called Echo, for the Apple IIe,
C, GS. It uses an Ampersand (&) like:
& Talk "Hello" And the computer says, Hello. We have it at my school on a
IIe..

Perhaps a custom toolset that makes use of the built-in Ensoniq chip and the standard sound-related toolsets. -- Allan Belyea UUCP: 3755 Riverside Dr. Cognos Incorporated alb@cognos P.O.

In-Reply-To: message from alb@cognos.UUCP Hey! I've seen some software for the GS which is exactly what you need. I believe that it's called Smooth Talker or something (that might be some other speech software)... Anyhow, i'm positive that there is one because i've seen it myself. If that's not it, I'll see if I can come up with the name ---- ProLine: jwana@pro-midnightex Internet: jwana@pro-midnightex.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-midnightex!jwana ARPA: crash!pro-midnightex!jwana@nosc.mil

I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE for ANYTHING. There MIGHT be a few, extreme, exceptions to this, but I certainly would not recommend this to anyone. If you need more info bout it, e-mail me and I'll tell you all about it. >---- >ProLine: jwana@pro-midnightex >Internet: jwana@pro-midnightex.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-midnightex!jwana >ARPA: crash!pro-midnightex!jwana@nosc.mil ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com

I went back and looked at the tools that came with the "Bouncing
Bluster" game... they were TOOL 050 (version 0.2) and TOOL 051 (version
0.2). Male and Female Synthetic Speech Generation tools, respectively. I
used UtilityWorks GS to find this info, and judging by the low version
numbers, I assume they are beta-test releases (or the tool equivalent,
anyway).
Has anyone out there gotten this game to work on a ROM 3 GS?
