This is the Amiga port of Sebastian Macke's great C-adaption of the 
speech software SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) for the Commodore C64.
It creates a nice sounding voice directly from text. That sound can be 
played via audio.device (default) or via ahi.device (-ahi unit). 
The sound can also be saved to a wave-file. Input is possible in either 
English text mode for automatic translation or in phoneme mode (-phonetic)

Just enter sam <enter> to get a list of options.

sam Hello, my name is sam.

The program can be loaded resident to skip load times on further invocations.

Resident sam PURE

For a few more examples cd into demos_amiga drawer and enjoy the show.

Resident sam PURE  ; load sam only once 
cd demos_amiga
execute demo1
execute demo2
; and so on...
; also try the tiny game
rx guess_number.rexx 
Resident sam Remove

Requirements:
Any Amiga will do. An 68000 is sufficient but an 68020 or better is utilized 
if present. On a plain  7MHz 68000 it takes a few seconds to calculate until 
sound occurs. Standard Amiga stack (4096) is sufficient. 
Either audio.device or ahi.device is used for playback.
