# Speech Synthesizers for Timex Computers

The speech synthesizers for TIMEX 2068 and 1500/1000 computers are sets of nine and eleven programs written in both machine code and BASIC. Digitized words are stored in variable length cells and can be played back under program control in any order. Sound is heard through the internal speaker or MIC jack on the TS 2068. Sound is heard through the TV or MIC jack on TS 1500/1000 computers. The TS 2068 speech set includes programs to disassemble sentences for a sort of text to speech, and programs to compile libraries of words for special uses.
