Text-to-Speech (Japanese Pronunciation Only)

This program allows you to convert a line of text into speech. As of now, because of the limitations of the TALK command, words can only be pronounced in Japanese, meaning English text-to-speech is currently not possible. If an update for SmileBASIC comes to support English for the TALK command, then this program will be updated (if it needs to be).

Instructions:

Simply execute the program to activate it.

Technically you could make an English version by constructing english words using Hira/Kana. It would be kind of a pain though, and your voice would have an accent lol

Yeah, I know. But I don't know Japanese and it would be a pain to make a program that can convert English words into English-sounding Japanese words.

Hey! I made one, but it only does english. I just recorded a bunch of samples, and made a ETALK function that uses them. I just posted it. search "ETALK"

I did. It's a really cool concept, but it pronounces things very slowly. Maybe if you make the pronunciation faster it will work better? Keep up the good work though!

It would be really difficult to make an English TALK command because the English alphabet is horrible, whereas in Japanese Hiragana and Katakana have one sound per letter.
