- 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

-
- 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"
