are each
recorded
twice
on
each side
in
the
following
sequence: "VOICE*', "V",
"VOICE",
"V". Recordings start
at
about 10
on
the
tape counter
.
Type SYSTEM
<enter>
At
the
?*
type VOICE
<enter>.
The
VOICE
program should load.
Then
you will see
another
?*
. Type
/
<enter>
.
•^**The
text to speech
software is now
loaded.
You could
at this
point get
speech with
PRINT*
or a USR
call . A few
pokes
(described later)
are required. But now,
for
demonstration
purposes,
let's load the "V" program.
-^This
BASIC
program is saved on your tape
right after
the VOICE
program.
—
Type
CL0AD"V"
<enter> . When the
program loads
type
RUN <enter>. You now
have most
of the commands of
VSEDIT/BAS. (see
"Adding speech to your programs, Method
3")
.
-^Type
"I"
to
insert some words,
then
type
"It works!".
The VS-100 will say "It works!",
and
you will see the
phonemes on
the
screen. If you want
to try
out another
phrase, type K to clear, Y to
confirm, and
I to insert
again.
This
part
of the program
uses
a BASIC
"INPUT"
statement,
therefore
don't use
","
or
":"
in your
input. If
you do,
you will
get an EXTRA IGNORED message
and
the text
following
the
","
won't
be pronounced.
-•-If
you just want to
try
out
a lot of phrases without
going
through the
K-Y-I sequence each time, you can type
in
the following one line program:
10 INPUT
XS
: PRINT* XS;
:
GOTO 10
(the POKES
necessary
for PRINT*
to
function were
automatically executed
when you
ran the editor
program)
