   I'm building a project and I need to use voice synthesis.  Something like
National Semiconductor's Digitalker would be great, but the vocabulary is
limited. 
 
    I have two questions: 

                 o   Are there any really good (not too expensive) phoneme    
                     speech synthesizer chip?   The SP0256-AL2 isn't too good.
                     I've heard that the SSI-263 is better.  Are there others
                     that are intelligible?
 
                 o   Also, does anybody have any experience with using CODECs 
                     or other chips to digitize speech?  I'd like to be able
                     to find some sort of compression technique so that I
                     wouldn't need a lot of EPROMs.  But, I'd like to hear
                     from anybody who has experimented with digitizing speech.
 
             
                                                                GBell
