First Byte's Smooth Talker

1988 · MS-DOS · First Byte

This is a working version of First Byte's Smooth Talk. This is a text-to-speech DOS program released in 1988. Includes both V2 and V3 (Dr Sbaitso) voices with the program. The emulator here runs with the classic V2 voices as were featured in the original Macintosh version. For people wanting to run this on an actual machine, this program requires the CPU to be slow (like 286 slow) and also uses the Covox Speech Thing for audio output. Having an original Speech Thing or the very common clone variants is essential.
