- SpeechToy was initially released in 1985. To this day, it
- is the only program I know of that uses the mouth values
- returned by the narrator device. For what? Well, for those
- that have never seen it, it not only "speaks" in famous
- Amiga style, but also presents a face with a moving mouth!
-
- This is a new SpeechToy, ported to JForth, and incorporates
- 2.0+ style shaded gadgets and colors, and a new feature, a LOOP
- button, permitting repetative narration. Also, I fixed some
- bugs in the original 1985 C source (which is included).
-
- As I ported this program, I discovered a Commodore include
- file bug that introduced incompatibility in the use of the
- narrator mouth values between 1.3 and 2.0+. Details, as
- well as a workaround, are presented. This SpeechToy will
- work fine under any OS version.
-
- The package includes executable and JForth source, as well
- as a corrected version of the original 1985 C source (for those
- who might like to compare the two).
