Actually, you can generate really good LPC speech using either the Text to Speech disk, the Speech Editor cartridge, or the Terminal Emulator II cartridge. It even describes how to save the data files and modify them for deeper or higher range voices--and then import them into other applications, including BASIC.

I think I have the editor manual, I'll have to get a fresh look at it.
Thanks for pointing that out.


This speech data was created using original recorded speech and optimizing it as LPC data to produce the closest representation of the actual original recorded speech source. Hopefully I'll get better at it.

Ti created their speech for cartridges using their hardware and software system, from what I understand. (marketed for like $10000) They also had a linguist involved to help produce the best quality speech possible.

BTW I tweaked the 5220 table in qbox to more closely match the 5200 chip used in the Speech Synthesizer.
