!Speech!/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

(The number 50 is used as an example. Any integer value in the ranges given above can be used.) [PITCH 50] - Sets pitch to 50 [SPEED 50] - Sets speed to 50 [TONGUE 50] - Sets tongue to 50 [MOUTH 50] - Sets mouth to 50 [LEVEL 50] - Sets volume level to 50 [RESET] - Resets all values to default [PHONEMES] - Sets reader to accept phoneme text [WORDS] - Sets reader to accept word text SOFTWARE INTERRUPT COMMANDS (&00042B80) SYS "Spch_Ready?" TO A% - Returns TRUE if not speaking (&00042B81) SYS "Spch_Oldchannel" - Sets sound system to old channel and speed settings (&00042B83) SYS "Spch_Say",A$ (&00042B84) SYS "Spch_SayW",A$ (&00042B85) SYS "Spch_Speak",B$ (&00042B86) SYS "Spch_SpeakW",B$ (&00042B87) SYS "Spch_Pitch",50 (&00042B88) SYS "Spch_Speed",50 (&00042B89) SYS "Spch_Mouth",50 (&00042B8A) SYS "Spch_Tongue",50 (&00042B8D) SYS "Spch_Level",50 (&00042B8C) SYS "Spch_Reset" PHONEMES Phoneme Examples Notes AA - After, fAst AE - hAt, hAve AH - cUp, dOne, villA AO - fORt, lAW AW - cOW, bOUGH AX - hotEl, comicAl (short, quiet AH sound) AY - Acorn, pAle B - Book CH - CHimney, wiTCH, virTue D - Daring DH - THis, wiTH (not as in "thin") EE - spEEch, pitY EH - wEndy, mAny ER - chURch, pERch, thIRd F - Forever, graPH G - Gate H - Handle IH - quIt IX - Into, bEcause (short IH) IY - stYle, nIGHt, EYE J - Juggler, loGic, Duke K - Cat, Kill, plaQUE L - Lamp LX - LLandudno (Welsh fricative) M - Mountain N - Never NX - siNG, runniNG, siNk O - hOt OH - cOlour, pOlo OW - snOW, mOst (longer OH sound) OX - dragOn (softer O sound) OY - vOIce P - Pat R - Rat RX - (fRancais) (rolled R sound) S - Silly, Cyanide SH - SHip, moTIon T - Tap TH - THick, boTH UH - wOOd, cOULd, pUll UL - middLE, equAL UW - trUE, dO UX - dOing, tO (softer, rounder UH sound) V - Vat W - Wish Y - Yes Z - Zebra ZH - viSIon, meaSure To add intonation to speech, for a more natural sound, simply place a number between 1 and 8 after any phoneme. The higher the number, the higher pitch the phoneme will be. The selected phonemes (mostly vowels) are also lengthened for emphasis. A setting of 4 is the default pitch, but remember itcan be used to lengthen the vowel sounds. Adding a question mark to the end of a phoneme (or word) pushes the pitch up, whereas adding a full stop pushesit down. Pauses can be included by using spaces, commas or hyphens. If you do not leave a space between words, then the speech will flow together faster. This does not necessarily make the speech sound better, but can make sentences more fluent, especially with short words. MUSICAL PITCHES Use a number from the table below to select pitches FOR EACH phoneme to be sung. You must also pitches for spaces and ends of lines. Lower pitches tend to be more accurate. F F# G G# A A# B C C# D D# E Octave 1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Octave 2 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 Octave 3 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 Octave 4 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 For an example refer to the 'Daisy' file inside the !Sp_Demo application.
