Re: Apple Speech Synthesis

[jserran@c2i2.com (Joe Serrano)]

I'm not sure of what I've got, but in a stack of old Apple disks, I
found SAM. It's a regular disk that I booted up and it appears to 
have four different sections on it. One is Demo, 2 is something
called speeches, next is Guess number, and the last is called
"Say it". 
In the Say it part you can type a line of conversation, hit return
and it repeats what you typed, Looks like you can also change
the speed and pitch of the voice. Might have to, this guy sounds
Danish a lot and has some trouble with "G" and "J". 
If you want a copy send me a blank Apple disk (I'm out) and I'll mail
you one. Please Email first -
