TALK.COM is a program that makes your IBM PC speak. Sounds are made by
vibrating the speaker rapidly to simulate sounds. Each sound is called
a "phoneme".
When you run TALK, the program will expect you to enter an English
sentence. After pressing ENTER, each word will be scanned against the
dictionary. If a word is not found, you will be presented with a
phonetic menu so you can teach TALK how to say the word. The word is
then placed in the dictionary for future use. Once all words have been
scanned, the entire sentence will be pronunced.
F1: Press this key to define a file to receive the sentences if you
want to save them.
F2: This key reads back the file so you can hear it.
F3: Saves the sentence you just entered to the file. IMPORTANT: You
must use this key to save the sentence. TALK does not automatically
save your work.
F4: Empties the file.
F5: Changes the default pitch and delays. These changes are not saved
and are not entered into the save file.
F6: Brings up the phonetic menu so you can just enter sounds.
F7: Reads and entire ASCII file through TALK and out to the save file.
This is useful if you want to create your messages first and then
translate them through TALK.
F8: Allows you to edit the dictionary. You may add, change or delete
words and their translations.
F9: Turns color on and off.
F10: Exit TALK and return to DOS.
There are 36 sounds possible. They are listed on the menu. Each sound
must be preceeded by a dash (-). Following the sound, you may enter a
digit from 0 to 15 which will determine the pitch. On PC ATs the pitch
values all work well. On normal IBMs, pitch values over 2 don't work
well. Use spaces, commas and periods to create delays between sounds.
These programs were made using TURBO pascal. Sourcecode of the program
is available, but is not contained on this volume.
