Hi,
My SpeakJet arrived the other day and I've been having great fun playing with it. I am quite impressed with its sound capability. Not only does it do all the usual "phonemes" for producing speech, but it also includes 50 different beeps, whistles, r2d2 -like tones, and grunt-like sounds. Combine those with all the variations that can be set with 'speed', 'pitch', and 'bend', and there are many many thousands of sound variations one could produce.
For a very basic test program demonstrating it's use with my MAVRIC / MAVRIC-II boards, see:

For a more complete, interactive program, see:

The latter incorporates all the SpeakJet phoneme mnuemonics in memory, as well as a brief description of each for easy reference while experimenting (one of the nice benefits of a large FLASH memory). Incorporating the phoneme data in FLASH is handy since it lets you experiment using phoneme mneumonics instead of having to use the raw numeric data codes. For example, to say "ready", you would use:
>> rr eh de iy
Instead of:
>> 148 131 174 128
But my sample program accepts both, and the above two sequences produce the same output.
Enjoy!
