Great Wall Tower of Babel Multi-Lingual Usenet News Reader
  and Stereo Bilingual Synchronous Audio Tape Production System.
    An unregistered trademark of G.O.D.S.B.R.A.I.N.

If I keep asking questions about this and continue to get so
few responses I may turn it into a monthly faq.

Need to shorten the name. How about GBM = Great Babel Maker.
Anybody else using that name or acronym?

  It could be called the G.O.D.S.B.R.A.I.N. Terminal.

  A good promotional movie could be called:

    THE G.O.D.S.B.R.A.I.N. CONNECTION

What does it do?

  It is a vending machine. You put in cash, coin, your debit 
    card or credit card.

  It deducts Expenses, Taxes, Tithes, Fines and makes change.

    As an example, if you insert a dolar bill to get phone
      change and it determines that you have an outstanding
      parking ticket and not enough money in your account,
      it grabs your finger and will not let go until a
      policeman comes to release you.  

  Some models have a photocopier, fax machine, OCR, "Hot
   Canned Soup, Sandwich, and Soda Dispenser"

  It is connected to a pay phone.

  It takes your Blood Pressure, Pulse, etc. and
    automatically makes a doctor's appointment 
    based on an Artificially Intelligent Diagnosis.

  It is for use in hospitals, schools, temples, churches, 
    police stations, train stations, bus stations, courts
    of justice, gas[petrol] stations and fast food stores,
    whore houses, bars, pool halls, night clubs, libraries, 
    prisons, almost anyplace in the world or the Universe[ity].

  You insert a floppy disk with your ascii, or other format,
  data file. First be careful to protect your ascii.

  It asks you what is the source language?

  It asks you what is the target language?

  It asks you how fast you want the speech output?

  It reads you your rights and tells you your daily
    school assignment, an hour-o-scope - this being
    the view of heaven from your location at the present
    time -, whore-o-scope [adults only], and how to
    navigate from here to there.

  It asks you test questions regarding your previous
    day's school assignments.

  It prints certificates of your General Educational Development,
    GED and IQ.

  It prints your resume.

  It gives you bus tickets and grocery cuepons.

  It prints an Inter-Linear text of your daily study text.

  It is a printer for daily class assignments.

  It outputs a stereo bi-lingual audio tape of the daily
    lecture with background music. There are to be several
    language output modes including, word for word, phrase
    by phrase, and sentence by sentence.

  You insert your audio tape and it recycles and rerecords it,
  or if damaged, will sell you a new one and recycle the old
  cassette.

  It will also output data disks, and video tapes.

    Language options include two of: your mother tongue, the
      official language of the geographic region in which the
      machine is located, the language of the speaker of the
      original source text, the language that you would like
      to learn, the language of your professor or guru, or 
      the language choosen for you by G.O.D.

How many have thought that they would live to see the 
day when the common man could walk up to G.O.D., insert their 
Social Security Card, and receive an instant dispensation --
-- In Cash? --

Now back to the present moment and the more specific question
to the ibm.pc.soundcard newsgroup:

  If you have a Sound Blaster, or other card, that can do
    text to speech, can you output the text to speech to
    a sound file?  How?

  How do you set up time synchronization in text files
   such that the resulting text to speech output sound
   files will be time synchoneous when sound output in
   stereo?

  How do you then output the two sound files simultaneously
    on two stereo channels using my Sound Blaster or someone
    else's other speech card?

    In other words, is that all this talk about wav, and voc
      and mod, etc. sound files.

  My Sound Blaster card does text to speech in English but
    have any of you working in other parts of the world been
    able to get a sound card to speak something other than
    English.  Like German or Chinese for instance. Spanish?
    Hebrew? Russian? Sanskrit?

I need information on how the Multi-Media, Virtual Reality,
and SIGGRAPH people are handling the control of two head 
mounted video displays simultaneously such that both eyes 
would see the image of a tree in the top half of the field of 
vision and one eye would see chinese text in the bottom half 
and english text in the other?

Lastly, since I am unemployed, out of money and need a 
place to stay while I await processing of my Social 
Security Disability Claim for back injury, chronic fatigue
syndrome, and carpal tunnel syndrome, I am looking for a 
place to sleep with my sleeping bag, bum some food, and 
find a free internet connection.

Merry Christmas,
