mecparts/Talker
A code-to-speech board based on the General Instrument 1980s chip set
This project helps you build a dedicated hardware board that converts written English text into spoken words, just like the classic speech synthesizers from the 1980s. You feed it standard ASCII text characters, and it outputs authentic, retro-style synthesized speech through an audio jack. This is perfect for hobbyists, vintage computing enthusiasts, or educators looking to recreate or experiment with historical text-to-speech technology.
No commits in the last 6 months.
Use this if you want to construct a physical device for converting text into speech using vintage General Instrument chipset technology.
Not ideal if you need modern, natural-sounding voice synthesis or a software-only solution for your computer.
