ok this is probably a dumb question, but can any of the stamps carry

vendors that allow BASIC Stamps and other microcontrollers to do speech.
An new product that is generating some interest (and is fun to play
with, I have one) is the SpeakJet from Magnevation (www.speakjet.com).

BASIC Stamps have instructions that generate sounds (SOUND on the BS1,
FREQOUT and DTMFOUT on the BS2 family), but voice requires more
horsepower than our current line supports.

PC. Instead, you can simply connect the SpeakJet RCX pin to one
Stamp pin and the Out 1/Speaking pin to a second Stamp pin. When the
Out 1 pin is high, that means the SpeakJet is speaking (which
provides your flow control). One thing to keep in mind is although
the SpeakJet only *requires* a single wire for serial communication,
using a second line for flow control is a *very good idea*.
Otherwise, the buffer can get filled up and you don't get everything
you want spoken. (Note: the schematic uses the "Buffer Half Full"
pin for flow control when using the PhraseALator software.) Anyway,
here's the link and if I can be of any help... let me know.

release my PBASIC example. That said, I agree with Brice's note below
about implementing flow control using the Buffer Half-Full output pin.
Here's how you can send a single element to the SpeakJet using a BASIC
Stamp:
SEROUT Tx\BufOK, Baud, [noparse][[/noparse]element]
You can connect the BASIC Stamp directly to the SpeakJet if you don't
want to control it via the PhraseALator software (no RS-232 inverting is
required for direct control).

Any rough idea of when that may be? As in, how long will we have to wait?!!
Looking forward to it,

finish my demo. It talks up a storm now, but the SpeakJet can do more
than talk and I want to include that information in my demo.
Since yesterday was such a small tease, I'll give up a little more ...
this is the subroutine that I use to send EEPROM-based strings to the
SpeakJet. The strings are phonemes and command data that when strung
together, create words or statements.
Play_String:
DO
READ eeAddr, element ' get element from EE
eeAddr = eeAddr + 1 ' point to next
IF (element = EOS) THEN EXIT ' end? if yes we're done
SEROUT Tx\BufOK, Baud, [noparse][[/noparse]element] ' send element to
SpeakJet
LOOP
RETURN
Here's what "Parallax" looks like:
Parallax DATA PE, Fast, EYRR, UX, LE, AY, AY, KE, SE, PA5, EOS
As you can see, my program requires a long list (too long to include
here) of constant values for the phonemes and commands -- but that makes
stromgs easier to read in DATA statements. Given the information above,
I can make the SpeakJet say "Parallax" like this:
Main:
eeAddr = Parallax
GOSUB Play_String
END

fun IC and I expect we'll see a bunch of creativity in its use. Thanks too
