Where would be a good place to get information about the relatively

low-level details of hard-disk interfacing, particularly controller-pr
|
|
processor interfacing? In other words, how to incorporate a hard drive
|
|
into a system (but not necessarily a general-purpose computer). I
|

ask because I may be involved in the design of a voice-storage system

which will incorporate an HD and won't be based on any off-the-shelf

computer.

to ALL re: <$50 PC SPEECH SYNTH
|
|
|
|
Got a GREAT new toy last night - Covox Speech Thing.
|
|
I bought it from Nelson Ford's Public (Software) Library, POB 35705,
|
|
Houston TX 77235-5705, (713) 665-7017.
|
|
What is it? A "thing" which is a D/A converter that hooks TO YOUR
|
|
EXISTING PARALLEL PORT - and your printer hooks into the back of IT, so
|
|
you don't lose any function. Like the no-slot-clock, this is one of those
|
|
"doesn't take anything away from you" great add-on products.
|
|
You load up over 80K of resident text-to-speech code, then run a BASIC
|
|
program and tell it what file to speak.
|
|
Full source comes for the routines to access the resident speech routines,
|
|
in BASIC or C.
|
|
I wrote a little program to strip out the message header stuff from
|
|
Compuserve messages, and then I run the BASIC program to speak it. Variable
|
|
speed, pitch, etc - just great!
|
|
I can see an ambitious person developing applications to use it even
|
|
better - one shortcoming is there's no "interactive" phoneticization - i.e.
|
|
if it says a word wrong, you can't interactively "toy" with fixing the
|
|
word - but it DOES have a full list of the phonemes, and the ability to
|
|
add mis-pronounced words to a dictionary (which it apparently looks up
|
|
in assembly as part of the speaking process).
|
|
Just barely have used it, and am "ear training" to recognize words
|
|
it has slight difficulty with. It is VERY understandable WHEN YOU'RE
|
|
READING ALONG, but will take a bit of time to learn its pronunciation.

to JIM POLOUS re: R/OCR
|
|
|
|
The OCR package is specifically marketed by Diamond Flower for use with
|
|
THEIR HS-3000 hand scanner. Since it is able to "read back" the DPI
|
|
setting off of the scanner (it goes 100, 200, 300, or 400 DPI), I must
|
|
assume it is quite hardware specific.
|
|
However, the software is from a company that was co-displaying at Comdex,
|
|
and I have the info on that - you could call or write:

I understand Colby Jordan is now maintaining a BBS list, now that Sonka
|
|
no longer is. Anyone familiar with that list? Think it would be
|

suitable for inclusion in the CBBS low numbered messages instead of the

VERY old Sonka list?

If anyone has it, who is also a Chinet guest, perhaps they could upload

it to my rje. Thanks!

|
|
|
|
Well Ward, I don't know how long it has been available for the PC,
|
|
but on Commodore Computers I have three of such programs. It sounds like
|
|
the Commodore type is more advanced. One of them is called HEARSAY
|
|
1000. Not only does it speak, but it listens too. Instead of typing,
|
|
you just talk to your computer.
|
|
|
|
People maybe thinking, hey that's the way to go. But the truth of the
|
|
matter is that, it's like talking to someone who doesn't understand
|
|
English to well. For someone handicapped, it maybe great! But to most
|
|
people, the newness wears off quickly.
|
|
|
|
Oh my cost for HEARSAY 1000? I got it brand new at $20.00 with demo
|
|
software and talking Terminal Software. Log-on and look Mom, no hands!

|
|
|
|
Another thing of interest to you Ward, another Speech program for
|
|
the Commodore was called S.A.M. It was all software driven. No added
|
|
hardware at all. It sounds as good as the hardware type. It was also
|
|
available for the Apple too.
|
|
|
|
The thing that might interest you, is that I took the speech synth prgs
|
|
and wrote a BASIC program to use a modem to answer your calls. Like a
|
|
answering machine. It recorded the time and date and printed it out
|
|
if needed. The cassette recorder was a piece of cake. Radio Shack has
|
|
this small box to hook up to your tape recorder and phone line. When
|
|
the modem answered the phone, the recorder automaticly started. I have
|
|
not even heard of anything today with all the features I packed into
|
|
that program. I never released any version of it and dropped any furture
|
|
work on it for two reasons (1) It tied up the computer, and (2) Some
|
|
people didn't understand some words it spoke. It's like listening to a
|
|
person with an accent. Once you got use to it, it was almost completely
|
|
understandable. What did I do next? I bought a dedicated machine.
|
|
It's called a ANSWERING MACHINE!
