I have no idea what the current state of affairs NTIS also distributes a text-to-speech program for Votrax synthesizers, developed at NRL. I believe the principal author's name was Honey Sue Elovitz. I can look up the reference if anybody cares. The program worked pretty well, the only catch was that the source code was in SNOBOL. I converted it to 8088 assembler and defined it as an MS-DOS device: C> echo Hello > voice: I'd be happy to send the source code to anyone who asks, but it was pretty specific to a homebrew project based on a Ciarcia article in Byte. - Fritz fritz@caf.mit.edu
