Text-to-Speech on a Low-Power Chip
bluephone writes: "The EE Times has a story on a new chip from Winbond that can take ASCII or UNICODE text and convert it to either spoken English or Mandarin (the Chinese language, not the orange). The low-power chip scans the text and translates it into spoken phenomes and outputs it to a filter for smooth analog sound, or can directly output the digital signal. Imagine a cell phone with this, you can have your email read to you, rather than seeing a line at a time on a dinky screen, street directions from a website, or even Slashdot's headlines. :)"
First things first, lets see a brand new picture

now, with that out of the way, how about some poetry
to get everyone in the mood?
I know of a fag named JonKatz
Who played with vampire bats
With his dick in his hand
His voice did command
"Try sucking the blood out of that!"
There once was a Malda named Rob
He loved to show off his knob
He flashed it at Hemos
Who was such a homo
He sucked it like corn on the cob
CowboyNeal was a man from Nantucket
Who's dick was so long he could suck it.
He said with a grin
While wiping his chin,
"If my ear were an ass I would fuck it".

What was even better was when I discovered that you could totally reconfigure Dr Sbaitso in a hex editor! All the text strings he said were convenietntly bundled together.
.. It made for a lot of 11 year old fun.
I remember renaming him to Dr. Shitso, and when you told him 'fuck you' he said 'eat shit asshole!' etc etc
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these...
Sorry, couldn't resist:)
