In a message dated 97-03-19 20:49:20 EST, you write: Speech Synthesizer There were many "Speech Synthesizer" modules released. Most of them had to do with entertainment packages, but there also many for education as well. Education packages included the Scott, Foresman series were the computer would say the numbers and letters to children, and for entertainment, there was Alpiner, Parsec, M*A*S*H, Star Trek, Microsurgeon, and many, many others. There are more than 373 words to choose from. In fact, with the Terminal Emulator II cartridge, you have unlimited "text-to-speech" capability. Literally anything you type in can be spoken. Sometimes you would have to make the the pronunciation spellings different in order for this to work, but mostly, it was fine. Extended BASIC was the only cartridge that limited "text-to-speech", but even then TI later released a "text-to-speech" diskette which would allow the user to type in anything (much like the Terminal Emulator II, and Speech Editor). I just picked up a Speech Editor cartridge for $20 from someone who was selling it along with other old TI stuff. Expect to pay this, or more for it - as it is rare. I just got it, and I can't even use it because I don't have the manual. Anyone have the manual for the TI Speech Editor cartridge? Bryan Nicalek bnicalek(a)aol.com
