-
- I would like to give a short
-
- review on the Magic Voice Speech
-
- Module by Commodore. This is a speech
-
- synthesizer put out by Commodore that
-
- has a realistic sounding lady's voice.
-
- She sounds real good. The only problem
-
- is that she can not say very much.
-
- This is very unusual for most ladies.
-
- She can make only 235 utterances which
-
- include the alphabet and numbers.
-
- It is a cartridge that plugs into the
-
- cartridge port and uses a cable to
-
- plug into your monitor's audio system.
-
- It comes with one cable to hook up to
-
- a TV monitor and to the front of the
-
- Commodore 1701 or 1702. But in order
-
- to make it work on my 1701 monitor,the
-
- way I have it connected in the rear,
- I had to buy two cables from Radio
-
- Shack. It will only work with the C-64
-
- and the SX-64. As for as I know, they
-
- do not make it for the Vic-20.
-
- It is very limited with the vocabulary
-
- that comes on the cartridge but
-
- Commodore is supposed to have a disk
-
- or cartridge which will expand it to
-
- over 10,000 utterances in the near
-
- future. This great expansion was
-
- supposed to have been out by June,
-
- but I haven't been able to find
-
- anyone that has it.
-
- It has a cartridge port in the top of
-
- it so that you can plug another cart-
-
- ridge into it.
-
-
- ***Bottom Line*** You can not do much
-
- programing with it but it is a lot of
-
- fun to play around with.
