Box text

With the help of the VOICE-BOX and the included software the ATARI computer can talk and sing.
The VOICE-BOX is simply connected to the serial port of the floppy disk station or the interface module.
Further connections are not necessary, because the voice output, controlled by the computer, is done via the speakers of the TV set.

The following functions are already included in the program package:

- Input of a sentence in written German or in phonetic code with simultaneous control of the pronunciation
- Store words and sentences in word directories that can be accessed with any BASIC program.
- Generate random sentences from a vocabulary of your choice
- A face that moves lips in sync with speech and song output
- A spelling game in which a word spoken by the VOICE-BOX must be spelled correctly by you.
- Listen to or expand the short songs available on diskette
- Programming of own songs; according to a method that can be easily learned even without previous musical knowledge.
- Problem-free extension of BASIC programs with speech and vocals
