Subject: [BlindHandyMan] speech chip update
Just FYI, I've been in touch with folks at local epson sales
office.
they are just comming out with what amounts to a dec talk on a
single
chip for about $10.00. Only minor problem is it is in a very
strange
package so we'll have to see how we can make it possible for
small
manufacturers and individuals to work with it. They are going to
be selling
them through a known supplier in small quantities, unlike some
big companies
who will only sell you thousands.
This looks most promising. We'll be getting a demo
and access to an engineer in the next few weeks.
I'll report back when I know more.
If this works out, when yo ask companies to make there stuff
talk you will
be able to give them a part number. with speech synthesis
available for ten
bucks, fancy pre-recorded digitized speech will be a
thing of the past, except for talking books of course.
This can't be me, I'm actually sounding optomistic, something
will go wrong.
Tom
