This program is to be used with SPEECH.COM. It enables the
text following the command to be passed the the speech program,
which will in turn send it to the speaker. SPEECH.LQR lacks
documentation so I will make an attempt to summarize 35 of the 36
phonems it claims to recognize :
The portion in capitols is the part reproduced by the phonem.
a - tApe ae - hAt ah - fAther
aw - AWful b - Book ch - CHurch
d - Dog ee - fEEt eh - sEt
f - Find g - Get i - I
ih - sIt j - Just k - King
l - Look m - Make n - New
oh - hOE oo - bOOt p - Peek
r - Ring s - See sh - SHeep
t - Tool th - tooTH tz - THe
u - lOOk uh - Up v - View
w - Window wh - Where y - You
z - Zoo zh - whatever.
" " - pause between words
"-" - connect two or more phonems
To use SAY.COM first run SPEECH.COM. Speech will not return
any message unless it has already been loaded in which case it
will respond accordingly. SAY will only give a message if speech
has not been loaded. If Speech is found in memory, the text on
the DOS command line will be passed to it and the sounds will
eminate form the speaker if any valid phonems are found. See the
TALKDEMO.BAS program for more examples of phonem strings.
Example :
The command
SAY i k-ae-n t-aw-k <CR>
will cause the computer to say "I can talk"
