Russia can’t even afford to feed its troops; they honestly eat ONE MEAL every 3 days if they are •in• combat and only twice a week when they are not in combat! Yes, Russian military members eat only two MEALS every seven days when they are not fighting! Not two as in breakfast, lunch and dinner for two days but only two servings of food COMBINED! Those two Russian “meals” are one cracker and 64 grams (half cup) of unflavored oatmeal! That is a lightweight breakfast snack in NATO but for Russia that is their entire meal that is supposed to last them three entire days! THREE WHOLE DAYS! I am not joking nor exaggerating! Russia puts on a show on the world stage but in reality, they are a washed up ex-superpower on it’s knees about to collapse, AGAIN! They were NEVER a super power country to begin with; they have been living in the shadows of the United States since before the age of timeso technically they can’t be washed up because they were never there to begin with and the good people of America need to expose these fake Russians for whom they are. America should invade Russia, seize their oil and timber industries and use Russia as their garbage dump.

Being somewhat of a polyglot, I couldn't agree more; the more linguistic knowledge I've obtained, the worse I find English spelling... Though, it's not just at the spelling level, but all the way down to how letters/characters are pronounced; while there is no consensus on why it happened, all of this seems to be related to "the great vowel shift." P.S.: I'm *not* at all surprised, that someone who *wasn't* a native English speaker, was the first one to *study* this; I'd also like to think, that the first person to notice there was something funky (*not* the good kind.) about the English language, wasn't a native English speaker either. P.P.S.: While I'm not at all familiar with French, I've heard that it's also pretty bad; which makes me wonder why they're so conservative, when it comes to their language... P.P.P.S.: I'd very much like a written language reform, for *many, if not all* languages; I don't see the point in having an unnecessarily hard, or time consuming writing/reading systems. In this case, I don't believe "because it works," or "traditions," etc. are viable answers... Excuses, rather...

The phonograph mechanism from the see-n-say, if I recall correctly, originated in the Chatty Cathy doll. It got re-used over and over in a massive number of products. In Chatty Cathy, the entry groove selection was somewhat randomized by the string pull / spring mechanism. See-n-say was a refinement to that & as you showed, it made it all the way to automotive tech.

A while back, I played around a bit, with a Japanese voice synth; (Vocaloid) however, as the Japanese language is mostly spoken in syllables, the synth's system is based on syllables, rather than vowels and consonants.

vocaloid is a great software for many reasons, including accessibility. for japanese beginners or people who get a grasp of hiragana or romaji/romanized japanese syllables and wanna make a cover or original song in the japanese language (or any language. ive seen people use the japanese voice databases for multilingual songs many times and it is interesting! it isnt just limited to japanese if you can get it to sound right.), inputing the syllables are easy for them due to how vocaloid seperates japanese syllables in a really easy way. i enjoy it too. :3

Voiceroid has some familiar characters' voices avaliable, such as Yuzuki Yukari and Tsurumaki Maki (i.e. I don't recognise any of the other two softwares' characters from anywhere else). And like singing synths can be tweaked to produce some sort of speech, these speech synths can be tweaked to produce some sort of singing (or rapping, probably with fewer tweaks). At least, I've read about this being possible with Voiceroid; I don't know about the other two.

I just want to say that years ago my grandmother passed away in the University of Michigan's hospital. One small thing that made the awful weekend more bearable for my wife and I was that the elevators spoke to you. "Floor two." The voice was EXACTLY that of Mr. Spell from Toy Story. Dead perfect. Edit: OMIGOSH I'm so so happy you featured the Tandy speech cartridge. Me and my sister played with that thing for HOURS when we were kids!! One thing we did notice though is that after a while the computer would start to overheat, and as a result the speech output would be different letters than what were typed. After a while we started to notice what letters were connected to other letters. It was weird.

So, that old Chrysler you showed actually uses a Texas Instrument chipset that's very closely related to the Speak n spell. GM used a similar unit as well. That record player one is from the pre-1984 Nissans. The later Nissan ones actually used digital samples to play the messages, so it was an electronic version of that little record. There were also various other 80's cars from Germany, France, and Japan that used different kinds of speech synthesis but I don't have much information on them because I have been unsuccessful in finding them.

There was a practical use for speech synthesis back during this period of computing. Anyone who was vision impaired could not use a monitor with any practical expectations. But the speech synthesis modules could speak to them and tell them what they were missing. A good friend of mine had a series of speech synthesis devices from the C64 on up through the development of the PC. The more modern ones had a headphone jack so that he could do personal business over his computer without the fear of someone looking over his shoulder. Sadly he passed away a few years ago from Cancer but his legacy as a sightless genius lives on.

Roger Waters’ album Radio Kaos used a.speech synthesiser on a BBC Master 128 for the character of Billy, and there was a speech synth ROM for the original BBC B featuring the voice of Kenneth Kendall, the BBC News reader. Both of these were early to mid ‘80s

The clips with the Currah speech cart have a really high pitch sequel in the audio, probably from your breakout cable

I know you are primarily a Comodore guy, but years ago I had a TI 99-4A and the speech snthesis add on. and you could have it say anything as well. I loved IT!. sorry now, that I let it go to be replaced with an Apple II E I bought from someone in the greensheet 😪 we had them in Highschool, and that is where I first learned to code in basic.
