I had some trouble with my subject line yesterday 
so you may not have seen this:


Check out SpeechToy2 on aminet: util/wb/speechtoy2.lha
-------------------------------------------------------
if you get the settings right you can get some pretty convincing stuff 
out of
it. I even replicated that 'Let's Do It' sample in 'U Sure Do' by Strike! 
But
you'll have to change some of the settings below to get it.

Here's some examples, starting from default make the following changes.

1.      MODE:   Natural or Manual
        RATE:   150
        PITCH:  65
        PERTURB:2
        ENTHUS: 63
        A1 ADJ: Somewhere between -32 and 0 (-32 gives a radio mic 
effect)
                                            (0 is more clear speech)
        A3 ADJ: 6
        CENT: 40%
        CENTPHON: AH (or maybe A0)

Type in: come on. lets do it. lets do this thing. and lets do it well.
Change the phonetic output to:

KAHM AAN. LEHTS DUW2 IHT. LEHTS DUW DHIHS THIHNX. AEND LEHTS DUW2 IHT 
WEH1L

and now press speak?
what do you think.

2.      MODE:   Natural or Manual
        RATE:   150
        PITCH:  65
        PERTURB:2
        ENTHUS: 63
        F1 ADJ: 8
        A1 ADJ: -19
        A2 ADJ: 12
        A3 ADJ: 27
        ARTIC: 128
        AF BIAS: 17
        CENT: 40%
        CENTPHON: AH (or maybe A0)

Now type: look to the future.
and change to: LUH1K TUW DHIX FYUWCHER.


The numbers after the vowal consonants are for emphasis and the amount 
changes
depending on the ENTHUSIASM setting. Play around with the settings and 
let
me know of any interesting combinations anyone comes up with.

Shame the speech can't be saved out as raw samples.
Hmmm...I might go and speak to the author.....
