This chip is identical to the one Radio Shack is selling except that instead of having the numbers 0 thru 9 programmed in it has 64 allophones for unlimitited vocabularys. However I have not found any decent articles on Word synthesis with allophones. As I am currently attempting to create a dictionary of words, I was wondering if anyone else had set up this chip and developed some words? My hit and miss attempts are usually sucessful but the rate of 5 words per session is a bit slow. Pointers Appreciated... --Chuck -------
