Oh shit I had forgotten about this speech generator. I remember doing all sorts of dialogue with it as a kid just for fun. I tried to make it sound like my first language Finnish by using its English phonetics. 😄
I did this for German, having to figure out which phonemes could be used, as there were only English ones. The Extras 1.3 disk for Germany included a routine in BASIC with some, but not all mappings. And you could try to make up “words” which, when pronounced in English, sounded German-ish. This was always great fun. Der mow-rer holet dane hummer. Der bower holet dos corn. This was pronounced like “Der Maurer holt den Hammer. Der Bauer holt das Korn.” - The bricklayer is getting the hammer. The farmer is getting the grain. This actually helped me to learn English very quickly, especially when it comes to pronunciation, where a lot of Germans have problems with.
My favourite lines from this: "SEYMOORE!" "Uh ooh!" "M-M-M-M Steamed Clams" Whatever 1:13 to 1:17 is "sip sip munch munch" "old family recipe" "Good time was had by all, m poop" 3:04
I like how the program throws shade on the creator of this video by pronouncing I’m “im” as in “him” because the original creator didn’t spell it I’m, they spelled it “Im.”
Such a simple concept yet so funny especially with the sound effects and how some words were inevitably pronounced weirdly. I'll be honest I didn't even know text-to-speech already existed back in the 80's (though probably 'cause I was born '94).
This brought back memories of messing around with Say on my A500. I was devastated when I got an A1200 and couldn't find it on the Workbench disks anywhere.
I love this so much 😂 This feels like something none of my friends would understand, so I'm really happy to know there are other people out there, somewhere, who love this too!
Omg.. the memories.. of when mates and I pranked our high school principal by calling him up and "speaking" rather rudely to him by using the ol' Amiga TTS back in the day!! 😅

Such a simple concept yet so funny especially with the sound effects and how some words were inevitably pronounced weirdly. I'll be honest I didn't even know text-to-speech already existed back in the 80's (though probably 'cause I was born '94).
