|  First program for the V364
Well, not really, but check out what I have extracted out tonight from the C64 Magic Voice demo disk:
http://home.planet.nl/~grosz014/mvdemo.prg
Try playing it with Yape's V364 emulation mode. You can download the video of the full original C64 version here:

The latter is a nice site on the Magic Voice and to a certain extent about the V364, I have been helping him a little with his efforts, too.

Yape with Voice Generator is very very good  but I've encountered with problems. 
I entered SAY"GLORY" or SAY"WORRY" and got ?ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR. I think that there is problem with "L" and "W" sounds.

There's no bug. The T6712 speech chip is not phoneme based and as such can only work with fixed vocabularies. That's part of the reason why the Magic Voice has never become popular. Think of the T6721 and the PARCOR method as a way of voice data compression, much like today's MP3, only in 8 kHz telephone quality.
When you specify an unknown word (ie. not in the fixed vocabulary), you get this "ILLEGAL QUANTITY" error.
What this "program" really does is that it provides new speech data (starting at memory location $6000) that you can use either from BASIC (after issuing the command VOC(address)) or machine code. Custom words (or in this case: complete sentences) are always numbered from 1024. Of course one could as well write directly to the Toshiba chip, then you do not have to deal with these issues.

Where do we get the list of words? Is there documentation about details of installing of new words and dictionaries? What is data format for VOC?...

Here's the V364 word list:

And here's the original (.pdf-document) for the Magic Voice Manual (C64):
