Jeff,
JDR Microdevices sells the General Insturments CTS256AL2 chip (GI8642CAA) for **
$4.95 **. This is (I think) a slightly newer version of the same chip that
Radio Shack used to sell.
I bought one of those with an order from JDR, but haven't had a chance to even
look at it yet. I also found one of the old RS ones at a flea market with the
application notes, etc.
If you can figure out an easy way to hook it up to the handyboard, and program
it, please share it with the rest of us. It's a very inexpensive chip, and
would be great if we could use it with the HB.
The RC board does look great, but the price is also the reason I didn't go for
it...
Hope this helps,

Wow, impressive board. However, it's a bit out of my price range - I was
hoping for a solution just about as cheap as the Radio Shack one used to
be. Quality of speech isn't that much of a factor, I'm merely going to try
and put this thing on the web and bug my roommates with it. :-) I'll
contact RC, though, and see what they've got, hopefully I can come up with
a cheaper voice synthesis chip/board.

| (...) This is the text-2-speech chip, but it doesn't include the allophone synthesizer (SP0256) so unless you have an allophone synthesizer this won't do you much good. --Chuck (27 years ago, 7-Jul-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
