  |   TAV16, software speech synthesizer for the C16 (Spanish)
  9 years ago, I made a software speech synth for the Commodore 64: TAV64. Now I ported it to the Commodore 16. It uses a phonetic language to speak Spanish. I don't know if it could be useful for other languages. You can download it from:  http://www.pastbytes.com/tav/descargas.html

  Thanks! The program uses only 4K, for the C64 there is a version that you can use from BASIC programs, but I still don't know the C16's BASIC interpreter well enough to port it at this time.

  WOW, listening to it I had the feeling as Kraftwerk very original 1975 album.

  Version 1.1 is uploaded to pastbytes.com/tav. Version 1.0 had a bug that made the voice sound distorted. I made a video testing v1.1 before updating the interface. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dgURC1pMGg

  The link on your site (this one: http://www.pastbytes.com/apps/tav/tav16_v1.1.zip) leads to a 404. Could you please check it?

  I don't know why didn't work, I just renamed the file and now it's ok.

  Thanks, could you replace the video with this one? It has audio captured directly from the Plus/4 sound output. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwIeFLvCVVo
