- Dear Netland,
- I've got a final year project in to me to make an environmental
- control and simple speech unit for a disabled youngster. The student
- has done a good job with the report and the env control but for the last
- six months there has been no success obtaining simply programmed speech
- synthesis chips. There was a plan to use Votrax SC-01 & SC-02 chips but
- they're now unavailable here. Plans to try the Texas Instruments
- TSP50C4X family foundered on the agents requirements that 100 units were
- minimum order. I have little info on Microchip SP0264 & Sp0256A;
- National MM54104 & Signetics MEA8000 other than that the student was
- told none of these was now being manufactured.
- All I want to do is to store up to 8 messages that can be
- replayed at the press of a button from the portable unit. I'm very open
- to suggestions as it is a major detraction from the final product for
- the client.
- God Bless, Lloyd.
