I also corrected a nasty bug with the 'error beep' that only affects PAL users! I released this as the Alpha version on December 19, 2015. Not just move the full bulk, but rearrange modules such that during actual audio rendering, the needed data and code would not be hidden under the I/O region of memory. This allowed me to relocate code and data. In early December of 2015, I wrote an actual assembly-language version. This section of my website also discusses some omissions from, and gives clarification to, topics found (or sometimes, not found) in the original documentation. I cover most of the same information on my site, but I go into a lot of technical details that may result in "information overload" (TMI) for some people. That covers a lot of practical information in a concise manner. It is highly recommended that you also read the original (C64) documentation for SAM. However, I've included a lot of "low-level" details that also apply to the Commodore 64 and Apple II versions. This section of my site is primarily designed to describe details of SAM/Reciter specific to the Commodore 128. On this web site, I made an effort to clearly distinguish between SAM (only phonetic) and Reciter (SAM + English conversion). Thus the combination of "SAM plus Reciter" is a full (English) text-to-speech converter for your Commodore 128!īecause most people who use SAM also invoke Reciter, the combination (SAM+Reciter) may be assumed when others refer to "SAM" (without qualification). Reciter turns English text into SAM phonemes (which SAM turns into speech). A separate (but often used) module called "Reciter" is the 'middle-man'. Strictly speaking, SAM is a "phoneme-to-speech" converter. Download the latest (Epsilon) version of SAM 128 (including source code and a D64 disk image with SAM, Reciter, Wedge, and several demos). SAM 128 is a text-to-speech program for the Commodore 128. SAM is an acronym for Software Automatic Mouth (err, I always thought it meant "Software Activated Mouth").
