Special Requirements: Internal computer speaker.                        
                                                                        
SPEECH is a program which generates speech and makes it possible for you
computer to actually speak to you through its internal speaker.  SPEECH 
a "terminate and stay resident" program which becomes available as a    
background function, usable by other programs.  An additional program is
included, SAY, which passes its command line arguments to the SPEECH    
function, thus allowing batch files to generate speech.                 
                                                                        
SPEECH supports thirty six phonemes, which are specified as one of two  
character codes, such as, a, ae, ah, b, ch, etc.  Phonemes may be given 
either upper or lower case.  Phonemes are separated with a dash and word
are separated with a space.  For example, to say "this is a test", you  
would type; say tz-ih-s ih-z ah t-eh-s-t-t.  This disk gives examples of
how to say the cardinal numbers, the ordinal numbers, the letters of the
alphabet, and over fifty different words.                               
                                                                        
SPEECH is easy to use, comes fully documented, and can teach your comput
to talk like a parrot.  AT and 386 users will need to slow their compute
down to about 7.5 MHz in order to be able to understand the computer    
voice.
