Is TTS possible with the HYDRA? Anyone working on this? Or maybe samples or links someone can point me to?

Thanks,
Jeff

    You should watch this video of Chip Gracey giving a great talk/demo on speech synthesis with the Propeller:

    It's at a lower level than TTS but it's a good place to start.

    Hmmm. Maybe. Try searching for Vocal Tract stuff.
    There is at least one TTS but it uses phonetic pronunciation so it needs rules.
    How's this?

    Very Late Notes: (Forgot to mention)
    The speech synthesizer maybe for demoboard or something else not Hydra.
    If so, To get it to work, you have to change the crystal in CON to 10_000000 and 8xPLL
    You would also have to change the sound pins to 0 and 7 instead of 10 and 11.
    If there is a TV object, it too has to be changed to Hydra's pins. as I recall either 58 or %10101 whichever works.
    I think the wine song added a TV driver and the speech synthesizer doesn't have one.
