It may seem impossible (and to be realistic, it probably is), but why not try to make a speech simulator in scratch? You could type in a word, and it would say the word out loud.

Let's ask Microsoft Sam.

MSam: SAM

O-o-o-okay then. I might be able to help with the GUI.

I can set up some sound clips for you... me and my dad have been experimenting with text-to-speech for a long time. smile
I could also help with the GUI (I have Photoshop Elements).
Plus, I temporarily suspended ScratchCAD, so I could probably take this one on. wink

I have a bit of experience in speech so i will like to help you smile (JARVIS's ((real versions)) speech tool) smile

I could, after my short couple day vacation. It would probably work by sounding out different syllables, and then putting them together.

Kileymeister · 2010-02-15 09:12:27

Whoa, that would be the awesome if you could make that. I hope you succeed!

Sounds interesting. You should make it an open ended script so that you can put it in games etc.

I could help. I already have some ideas. tongue

It goes in steps:

1. Identifies a letter combination( a, b, ch, th, etc.)
A. Looks at letter
B. Looks at word for clues if it is a certain letter(like has a silent e but get doesn't)
2. Using two lists, matches pronunciation
A. Pre-generated lists serve as hashes(relations in data eg list(1) = 5 )
B. Relation is identified phonetically
3. Pronounces letter by letter
A. Pre-generated voices pronounce from a library
B. A voice can be selected

wait the algorithm i think will be too slow as scratchs list processing ability is too slow i think the way to make it faster is using heirchical lists or the simple BYOBs atomic interface.

Hey, I just saw this after making a beta project, and wondered if anyone had done this yet.

Check it out: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/abu_developer/1986580
