Pete,
The SP0256 had the best sounding speech I think ( it uses twice as many
speech sounds ( 128 allophones ? ) as the SC-01 only had 64 phonemes )).
The SC-01 is very easy to use ( it was used in the Heathkit Hero Robots )
but sounds very robotic and " nasal ". Heathkit Robots did have some songs
( like " Daisy " that HAL sang in 2001 ) but it sings as well as William
Shatner .... All depends on what you are looking for; quality or easy to
use.
How about the computer on Star Trek? Or the one on Andromeda? Sexy female
voice would be good, particularly... :-)
