-- VOICE REVIEWS --
Sent in by: Bill Walker

I would like to give a short
review on the Magic Voice Speech
Module by Commodore. This is a speech
synthesizer put out by Commodore that
has a realistic sounding lady's voice.
She sounds real good. The only problem
is that she can not say very much.
This is very unusual for most ladies.
She can make only 235 utterances which
include the alphabet and numbers.
It is a cartridge that plugs into the
cartridge port and uses a cable to
plug into your monitor's audio system.
It comes with one cable to hook up to
a TV monitor and to the front of the
Commodore 1701 or 1702. But in order
to make it work on my 1701 monitor,the
way I have it connected in the rear,
I had to buy two cables from Radio
Shack. It will only work with the C-64
and the SX-64. As for as I know, they
do not make it for the Vic-20.
It is very limited with the vocabulary
that comes on the cartridge but
Commodore is supposed to have a disk
or cartridge which will expand it to
over 10,000 utterances in the near
future. This great expansion was
supposed to have been out by June,
but I haven't been able to find
anyone that has it.
It has a cartridge port in the top of
it so that you can plug another cart-
ridge into it.
***Bottom Line*** You can not do much
programing with it but it is a lot of
fun to play around with.
