[DECtalk] a Dectalk question from Snoopi

[Blake Roberts]

A program which can automatically create wave files of each word in a
dictionary is preferable. Snoopi's goal is for Dectalk to speak via the wave
files. I don't have any word list databases. It is my understanding that
Snoopi wants as many words as possible.

It would be easy for me to write such a program, but I should first
ascertain how you would like it done. I assume that either you would just
like me to insert a word into the speak window? Or would you prefer me to
have a program automatically create a wave file of each word in a
dictionary? How large a database should I use? If you have one, I can just
use that, or I have some word lists of my own that could be effective. Any
of these can be easily written if you desire it, but I just need the program
spec so I know what to do.

Hi,

While I was speaking with Snoopi tonight, he asked me to post a question to
the listserv. Would it be possible to create a program which can copy all
words from a dictionary for use in Dectalk speak window? I refer to a normal
dictionary not the Dectalk dictionary. In such a program, individuals would
select a word from a list of icons. The word would then be copied into the
speak window and converted to a wave file for playback. Snoopi also told me
to specify that some people may think he's out of his mind. The reason
behind his request is that he would love for people to be able to use
Dectalk on Android. Such a program would enable people who use speech
synthesis for communication to communicate in Android via Dectalk.
