This is the Amiga port of Sebastian Macke's great C-adaption of the speech software SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) for the Commodore C64. It creates a nice sounding voice directly from text. That sound can be played via audio.device (default) or via ahi.device (-ahi unit). The sound can also be saved to a wave-file. Input is possible in either English text mode for automatic translation or in phoneme mode (-phonetic) Just enter sam <enter> to get a list of options. sam Hello, my name is sam. The program can be loaded resident to skip load times on further invocations. Resident sam PURE For a few more examples cd into demos_amiga drawer and enjoy the show. Resident sam PURE ; load sam only once cd demos_amiga execute demo1 execute demo2 ; and so on... ; also try the tiny game rx guess_number.rexx Resident sam Remove Requirements: Any Amiga will do. An 68000 is sufficient but an 68020 or better is utilized if present. On a plain 7MHz 68000 it takes a few seconds to calculate until sound occurs. Standard Amiga stack (4096) is sufficient. Either audio.device or ahi.device is used for playback.
