This is a text to speech system produced by integrating various pieces of code and tables of data, which are all (I believe) in the public domain.\
\
The bulk of the integration was done by Nick Ing-Simmons. See the file README for more info.\
\
The port to the NeXT was done by Ben Stuyts. (ben@stuyts.nl -- NeXT Mail Welcome.) I have only tested this on black hardware with NEXTSTEP 3.2.\

type words from stdin. A dot end a sentence and starts the conversion.\
\li0 \
Don't expect too much speed: on my 25 MHz cube the generation of 8 KHz speech takes as long as the speech itself. The bottleneck seems to be in nsynth.c, where most of the computation is done in floating point.\

\f0 A fixed size buffer is used (in hplay.c) as a sound buffer. It is 1 MB, so you probably won't notice it. It might dump core on you though: This happens if you give it a very long sentence, and/or a high sample rate.\
\f3
\f0 It doesn't compile straight away on NEXTSTEP 3.0 systems. The compiler gives errors like:\
\f2\fs20\fi-1540\li2500\fc3\cf3 cc -O2 -finline-functions -Wall -c holmes.c\
holmes.c: In function `filter':\
holmes.c:47: argument `v' doesn't match function prototype\
holmes.c:47: a formal parameter type that promotes to `double' can match only `double' in the prototype\
\f0\fs24\fi0\li480 To circumvent this, change the affected functions from:\
\f2\fs20\fi480 static float\
filter(p, v)\
filter_ptr p;\
float v;\
\f0\fs24\fi0 To:\
\f2\fs20\fi480 static float\
filter(filter_ptr p, float v)\
