# Zebra-Talker 1000

Unlimited vocabulary voice synthesizer uses the [Votrax SC-01](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Votrax) phoneme synthesizer with 4 programmable pitch levels and automatic inflection. It produces all the phonemes required for English speech.

The Zebra-Talker comes complete with the ZTalker Text to Speech software on cassette. This software contains an advanced machine language algorithm with more than 400 rules of English pronunciation. All you have to do is type in text in English and ZTalker will produce the necessary sequence of phonemes. The Zebra-Talker also features an expansion connector for “piggy-back” expansion. The audio output plugs into any audio system.

The Zebra-Talker comes complete with:

- [ZTalker Text to Speech software](http://localhost/product/ztalker-1-2/)
- Zebra Phoneme Editor software
- Phoneme dictionary
- Instruction manual
