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.
