- Welcome to CompTalk! (* DEMO VERSION *)
-
- I understand the following words :
-
- oh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
- 100 1000 am pm tin time a about after and any are as at away back be buy

- his hit hmmm i if in is it key left maybe me my never no not now of ok
- on oops or out quiet repeat right say so talk that the there this
- touch up was we were what who will with wrong yes you
-
-
- I also understand these commands :
-
- sp0 - sp20 del0 - del100
- sp0 = fast voice del = 1/2 second pause
- sp7 = regular voice del1 = 1/10 second pause
- sp20 = slow voice del10 = 1 second pause
-
-
- The SAMPLE screen enables one to try each word independently, at
- various playback speeds. Use the cursor up and down keys to select
- a word, then hit the enter key to hear it. Use the F9 - F10 keys
- to vary the speed of the playback. To exit hit the x key or esc key.
-
- The COMPOSE screen is a lot of fun. One may compose up to 5 different
- sentences for playback. Compose starts off with 3 sentences that I've
- included to spark your imagination. These can be erased and replaced
- with ones of your own. See how one can use the sp and del commands
- to produce various effects on the playback? Sentences which are played
- successfully in the Compose screen may be entered from the command line.
- At the top of the Compose screen you will see a line of available
- editting commands. These will aid you in quickly typing sentences.
- The cursor up-down keys will move from sentence to sentence.
- Exit by hitting the enter key when exit is outlined, or just hit the
- esc key. Your sentences will remain until you end the program.
-
-
- Hit the enter key to hear your sentence. If you would like to save
- the entire sentence for playback from PLAY.EXE, the distributable
- program, press the F10 key. CompTalk will speak your sentence as it
- saves it to disk under the name - test - . Rename the test file to
- something else before saving another sentence. PLAY.EXE will attempt to
- speak any file name passed to it, so you may rename your creations
- as you wish.
-
- Example: - save your sentence with the F10 key
-
- - exit CompTalk and at the dos prompt enter :
-
- play test
-
- - rename your file to an 8 letter name of your choice
- by typing :
-
- ren test newname
-
- - now you can play your creation by typing :
-
- play newname
-
- This way, you may accumulate as many distributable files as you wish.
- You are free to include these files and the program PLAY.EXE with your
- own programs.
-
-
-
- Command line entry :
-
- Simply type the words and commands after Ctalk
- from the dos prompt. When words are entered in
- this fashion, no title screen will be displayed.
-
- One may shell to Ctalk from another program or call
- Ctalk from a batch file without disturbing the
- current screen.
-
- Enter any combination of words and commands from the command line.
-
- Example: ctalk hello there del10 sp5 who is it
-
