Text to Speech

We have been playing with text to speech again. We used a Sparkfun voice box shield that includes the popular SpeakJet chip. The issue is that you have to code “phonetic” allophones to tell it what to say. It won’t read the contents of a normal variable and convert it to recognizable speech. So we added a TTS256 chip, which takes English text and numbers from variables, and builds the correct allophones for the SpeakJet.

It looks like sparkfun no longer sells the shield, but I have included the schematics on the group link.
