Is it possible to call the superior speech from basic with a variable ? Once the disk image is inserted, this prog will work 10 *RUN "SPEECH" 20 *SAY "HELLO" But this one doesn't 10 *RUN "SPEECH" 20 A$ = "HELLO" 30 *SAY A$ Superior software speech http://www.strafom.force9.co.uk/bbc/Ret ... peechr.zip |

Cheers - my final version of this 4 liner: 10 *RUN SPEECH 20 INPUT "SAY: " A$ 30 OSCLI "*SAY"+A$ 40 GOTO 20 Wrapping Beebem into a vst, feeding the text in and getting the audio back out is probably a little too much effort for now

In Line 30 you can leave out the * and make sure you have a space after SAY inside the quotes i.e. OSCLI "SAY "+A$ |

Heh, actually you can't - because Speech's custom OSCLI handler compares against the whole string including the '*' (which it shouldn't - naughty Speech!) |

I noticed running the emu at different speeds can change the pitch - I wonder if superior speech uses a timer interrupt for this, is there a likely thing I could try changing - and some code to change the timing, to see it will change the pitch? |

There's actually a command I think: *PITCH - follow it with a letter from A-Z to change the pitch. |

Oh nice, I suppose the *PITCH A is running the fastest it could possibly go? I'm still interested to see if it could be persuaded to go higher as it's quite a low pitch |

There was also the *SPEAK command which was more versatile than *SAY, although trickier to use. You may be able to use that to get it going at a higher pitch. From memory (it's been over a decade since I've used Speech!) I used to be able to make it sound like a mouse on helium without resorting to using *SPEAK. Kind regards, Francis. |
