And better synth features. Both chips are inspired by the original General Instruments SPO-256 allophone speech synth chip. As for open source? Hmm. Maybe the guy behind the Soundgin will help out there... Check out the Soundgin too; same price as the Speakjet but actually available. And better synth features.

(The Java one could be adapted to a <a href="http://www.processing.org" rel="nofollow">Processing library</a>, which would be awfully nice!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text2Speech http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Speech_Synthesis_System Actually, as it happens I was looking for freely-available synthesis software libraries … there is some stuff out there, in C++, Java, and C#, so it could be written into a plug-in.
