VOTRAX Type 'n talk
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2004 12:53 pm
After playing Scott Adams Adventure game, I became obsessed with getting a VOTRAX type 'n talk.
Does anyone have one? Have you played it with the Scott Adams games? I'd love to archive some of the sounds (quotes from famous lines in the game) so that everyone might hear it.
The curiousity is killing me.
I'd also like to know how it works from a programming stand point. Phonetics can be quite complicated when you think about it. Is it just guessing at each syllabal? What would it do with other languages? I have trouble figuring out how to pronounce most scandanavian and germanic languages because sounds are dependant on the surrounding phonemes.
