Information about “SPEECH”
SPEECH is a program which generates speech and makes it possible for
your computer to actually speak to you through its internal speaker.
SPEECH is a "terminate and stay resident" program which becomes
available as a background function, usable by other programs. An
additional program is included, SAY, which passes its command line
arguments to the SPEECH function, thus allowing batch files to generate
speech.
SPEECH supports thirty-six phonemes, which are specified as one of two
character codes, such as, a, ae, ah, b, ch, etc. Phonemes may be given
either upper or lower case. Phonemes are separated with a dash and
words are separated with a space. For example, to say "this is a test",
you would type; tz-ih-s ih-z ah t-eh-s-t-t. This disk gives examples
of how to say the cardinal numbers, the ordinal numbers, the
letters of the alphabet, and over fifty different words.
SPEECH is easy to use, comes fully documented, and can teach your
computer to talk like a parrot. AT and 386 users will need to slow
their computers down to about 7.5 MHz in order to be able to understand
the computer voice.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION
SPEECH is NOT a public domain or free program! It is
being distributed as Shareware. The Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP) offers the following definition of
Shareware:
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and
continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual
programs differ on details -- some request registration
while others require it, some specify a maximum trial
period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated
program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights,
with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware
authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.
(In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main
difference is in the method of distribution. The author
specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
For example, some authors require written permission before
a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
So, Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of
software. You should find software that suits your needs
and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The
Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you
don't pay for it.
Registration licenses you to use SPEECH Version 1.0,
and all future 1.x updates. Any unregistered use other than trial
use to determine if SPEECH meets your needs is a violation of our
license agreement and is forbidden.
Single user registration is available for $19.95 per
copy. Registered users will be sent the most current version
of the program and a printed reference guide. Registration also
entitles you to free telephone support and free 1.x updates.
The SPEECH software license authorizes use of one copy of
SPEECH on one machine at a time. If you have multiple
computers, either standalone, networked, or multi-user, you need
to register one copy of SPEECH for each workstation on which it
will be used.
For registration and licensing of more than ten copies,
please contact THE AUTHOR: VINCENT POY directly at (415) 391-0704
for details on our quantity discounts and On-site licensing
arrangements. Discounts of as much as 70% are available on site
licenses.
ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

SAY.DOC
SPEECH is a program written by Vincent Poy which generates speech on
the IBM-PC/XT/AT and 100% Compatibles. When run, it performs a
"terminate and stay resident", becoming available as a background
function, usable by other programs.
SAY is a short driver program written by Vincent Poy which passes
its command line arguments to the SPEECH function, thus allowing batch
files to generate speech.
You must install SPEECH before SAY will work. SPEECH is installed
simply by running it. It only needs to be run once. SAY will
complain if SPEECH is not installed.
SPEECH supports thirty six phonemes, which are specified as one or two
character codes, as follows:
a f n tz
ae g oh u
ah h oo uh
aw i p v
b ih r w
ch j s wh
d k sh y
ee l t z
eh m th zh
Phonemes may be given in either upper case or lower case. Phonemes are separated with a dash. Words are separated with a space. For
example, to say "this is a test", you would type:
say tz-ih-s ih-z ah t-eh-s-t-t
Some common words are defined below.

All users are granted a limited license to copy SPEECH
Version 1.0 for the trial use of others, with the following
additional conditions:
SPEECH must be distributed in unmodified, complete
form, including this Documentation and License
Agreement.
SPEECH may not be distributed in conjunction with any

REGISTRATION
SPEECH is NOT a public domain or free program! It is
being distributed as Shareware. The Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP) offers the following definition of
Shareware:
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and
continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual
programs differ on details -- some request registration
while others require it, some specify a maximum trial
period. With registration, you get anything from the
simple right to continue using the software to an updated
program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights,
with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware
authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.
(In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main
difference is in the method of distribution. The author
specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
For example, some authors require written permission before
a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
So, Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of
software. You should find software that suits your needs
and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The
Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you
don't pay for it.
Registration licenses you to use SPEECH Version 1.0,
and all future 1.x updates. Any unregistered use other than trial
use to determine if SPEECH meets your needs is a violation of our
license agreement and is forbidden.
Single user registration is available for $19.95 per
copy. Registered users will be sent the most current version
of the program and a printed reference guide. Registration also
entitles you to free telephone support and free 1.x updates.
The SPEECH software license authorizes use of one copy of
SPEECH on one machine at a time. If you have multiple
computers, either standalone, networked, or multi-user, you need
to register one copy of SPEECH for each workstation on which it
will be used.
For registration and licensing of more than ten copies,
please contact THE AUTHOR: VINCENT POY directly at (415) 391-0704
for details on our quantity discounts and On-site licensing
arrangements. Discounts of as much as 70% are available on site
licenses.
ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
