Hi,

I need to add speech to my proyect.

How many words or phrases can I handle using
the Emic Text-to-Speech SIP Module ?


Thanks, Joe

    Joe,
    That would be limited by how much storage (EEPROM) space you have, not by the Emic module itself.

    Thanks for your reply,


    But then I have Four questions:


    1--Then, How can I increase my eeprom space?



    2--Is it better to use the basic stamp 2Pe?

    and

    3--If I use the Basic stamp 2 IC ( 2Kb eeprom),
    How can I increase the eeprom.

    I need a lot of eeprom , about 200 words .

    4--Can I increase the eeprom of all basic stamps?

    Thanks, Joe

    ·· I will try to answer your questions…
    ·
    1)····· You can increase EEPROM space on existing modules by adding an external EEPROM which can be used for storing data.
    2)····· The BS2pe is designed primarily for data logging, however the increased EEPROM storage makes it great for programs which have a lot of data and/or text data, such as in menu systems.
    3)····· See answer to number one on this question.
    4)····· Yes, see number 1…This is easier on BASIC Stamp 2 Models.

    You can find an EEPROM and source code at the link below.· I hope this helps.· Take care.

    You mentioned that you'll need about 200 words for your project. Roughly how many bytes will this take? I'm imagining that each word will likely take less than 8 bytes on average. That's only 1600 bytes. That would fit very easily in a bank of any BS2 with more than 2K of memory. The BS2p series (p/pe/px) has a command (STORE) that makes this a bit easier to program than in the other Stamps.

    If you already have a BS2, you can certainly add external serial EEPROM easily. The one Chris showed is 16K x 8, but there are larger ones available, up to 128K x 8, that are accessed pretty much the same way.
