Denial

So I was reading through the book "Easy Interfacing Projects for the VIC-20" and one of the projects mentioned the Digitalker.

I had never heard of it and I couldn't find anything online. It seems like it was a speech synthesizer cart that also supported ROM playback of spoken samples.

Anyone here ever heard of it? I'd love to find one for sale.

Found this

It's interesting in that it has complete words rather than phonemes like the SC-01 or the SP0256A-AL2.

There is a book on Bomjack's site

The Electronics Projects for your Commodore 64 and 128

It's almost at the bottom of the page with a purple cover. It also features making your own digitalker and playback as well as speech synthesizer with the SPO256 chip mentioned by srowe.
