Finally, a speech synthesis program has come of age for us TS1000 users. It is also easy to use and affordable.

The speech synthesis package consists of a 2K demonstration, which speaks “I am your computer” in repetition, a biorythym prediction program which also speaks your age based on your birthdate and the day’s date (heaven help those who are age conscious) and the actual speech libraries that are able to say anything from “zero” to “you” and anything between.
