Speech Synthesis

Speech synthesis technologies are based on various types of data

Talkie v1.0.1 Library

It is a software implementation of the Texas Instruments speech synthesis architecture (Linear Predictive Coding) from the late 1970s / early 1980s, as used on ::: several popular applications:

- Texas Instruments Speak & Spell family of educational products

- Texas Instruments TI-99/4A Speech System expansion

- Acorn BBC Micro Speech Synthesiser expansion

- Atari arcade games (eg. Star Wars series, Indiana Jones, Gauntlet)

- Apple ][ Echo 2

- IBM PS/2 Speech Adapter

Talkie comes with over 1000 words of speech data that can be included in your projects. Most words only take a fraction of a KB, so you can add plenty.

Hexadecimal Numeral System

The Talkie Library uses strings of hexadecimal (hex) values in order to map and output sound.

One word, three ways:

ZERO (natural language)

or

0 (numeric value)

or

0x69, 0xFB, 0x59, 0xDD, 0x51, 0xD5, 0xD7, 0xB5, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x78, 0xC0, 0x52, 0x01, 0x0F, 0x50, 0xAC, 0xF6, 0xA8, 0x16, 0x15,
0xF2, 0x7B, 0xEA, 0x19, 0x47, 0xD0, 0x64, 0xEB, 0xAD, 0x76, 0xB5, 0xEB, 0xD1, 0x96, 0x24, 0x6E, 0x62, 0x6D, 0x5B, 0x1F, 0x0A, 0xA7,
0xB9, 0xC5, 0xAB, 0xFD, 0x1A, 0x62, 0xF0, 0xF0, 0xE2, 0x6C, 0x73, 0x1C, 0x73, 0x52, 0x1D, 0x19, 0x94, 0x6F, 0xCE, 0x7D, 0xED, 0x6B,
0xD9, 0x82, 0xDC, 0x48, 0xC7, 0x2E, 0x71, 0x8B, 0xBB, 0xDF, 0xFF, 0x1F (phonetic hex equivalent)

Uploading your own samples:

produce an audio file (in this case a recording)
export to .wav, 16bit, 8000 kHz (Audacity helps)
download Blue Wizard and import your converted sample (download here)
Blue Wizard will output a string of hex values (check screenshot)

the resulting hex values can be pasted into your arduino sketch as part of PROGMEM data storage
