     I am building a project for my German class that uses a speech synthesizer
chip to generate German speech.  Since T.I. has not sent my speech synthesizer
box, I'm going to have to build my own.  My requirements are these:

     0.  Low-current drain(preferrably CMOS)
     1.  High speech quality/intelligibility in German or English
     2.  Low cost
     3.  Ease of use/interfacing/programming
     4.  I would also like the unit to be able to sing a short song(OPTIONAL).

     The chip need not be T.I. 99/4A compatible; I am going to build a small
dedicated box to generate a more or less "canned" presentation.  All responses
will be appreciated.
