"The Speaker" - an impressive text-to-speech program for the Amstrad CPC !

When I was a kid, I typed lots of programs from Amstrad CPC-dedicated magazines. That was actually my introduction to the world of computing. Most of them were poorly designed, some of them were quite inspiring (especially the ones from Tom & Jerry).

But one of them was really ahead from its time : THE SPEAKER. It was a text-to-speech program, running without dedicated hardware, based on phonemes. After many searches over the net, I did not found any download link about it, excepted a reference to it through the great CPC POWER archive, that currently hosts the original listing from CPC Infos french magazine... and then I just told to myself : what a miss for the Amstrad CPC community to not be aware about this program !

So I decided to re-type it, and I was not disappointed at all by the great memory I had. This is probably one of the most impressive program ever published in an Amstrad CPC magazine. Try it, you will be amazed ! (download link is attached to this news).
