Short: Speech Synthesizer For All Amigas. Author: R.Altmann Uploader: parthg cloudnet com Type: util/misc Version: 1.02 Architecture: m68k-amigaos SofTalk is a new speech synthesizer that can be used on all Amiga operating systems. No hardware is required. SofTalk replaces the narrator device and translator library on Amiga operating systems v1.0 thru v2.04, and should be compatible with most application programs that used the original Amiga speech capability. SofTalk supports most of the operational features of the original Amiga speech system, and provides a number of new vocal characteristics. Includes "installer" and "remover" programs, a demonstration program, and documentation file. For convenient installation, it is recommended that the SofTalk.lha archive be uncompressed (preserving the directory structure in the archive) on a dedicated diskette having the name SofTalk: Alternately, uncompress the archive to a hard drive directory to which you can Assign the name "SofTalk:" while you run the "installer" program. SofTalk is a file-based synthesizer, and both the translation of text to speech symbols, and the generation of vocal sound from these symbols, can be changed by editing files. A basic English text translation is provided, and three different voice files are included. Application programs exist to edit these files or create completely new files. Persons interested in the subject of computer speech will find that SofTalk provides a capability for home computer users to do meaningful work in this field.
