- Author: R.Altmann
- Uploader: parthg@cloudnet.com

- Type: util/misc
-
- SofTalk is a new speech synthesizer that can be used on all Amiga
- operating systems. No hardware is required. SofTalk replaces the
- narrator device and translator library on Amiga operating systems
- v1.0 thru v2.04, and should be compatible with most application programs
- that used the original Amiga speech capability. SofTalk supports
- most of the operational features of the original Amiga speech system,
- and provides a number of new vocal characteristics.
-
- Includes "installer" and "remover" programs, a demonstration program,
- and documentation file. For convenient installation, it is recommended
- that the SofTalk.lha archive be uncompressed (preserving the directory
- structure in the archive) on a dedicated diskette having the name SofTalk:
- Alternately, uncompress the archive to a hard drive directory to which you
- can Assign the name "SofTalk:" while you run the "installer" program.
-
- SofTalk is a file-based synthesizer, and both the translation of text
- to speech symbols, and the generation of vocal sound from these symbols,
- can be changed by editing files. A basic English text translation
- is provided, and three different voice files are included. Application
- programs exist to edit these files or create completely new files.
- Persons interested in the subject of computer speech will find that
- SofTalk provides a capability for home computer users to do meaningful
- work in this field.
