Commodore 64 \'Cheap Talk\' Speech Synthesizer PCB Assembly with instructions for programming as shown.The famous SP0256A-AL2 is a vintage 80s speech processor chip that was made by General Instruments and made available to the public then at Radio Shacks along with the Code to Speech Processing chip which was sold separately at the time. The SP0256A-AL2 has an addressable Allphone table to create sounds that last milliseconds and allows you to string them to create words. By using a string of Octal bits to the address bus you can create any word. From my experience the voice is male and sounds natural. If you have ever played with the Mattel Intellivision voice module, this is the family of ICs used for those.The SP0256A-AL2 is a Speech Processor that is able to provide:
Natural Speech
• Stand Alone Operation with Inexpensive Support Components
• Wide Operating Voltage
• Word, Phrase, or Sentence Library, ROM Expandable
• Supports L.P.C. Synthesis: Format Synthesis: Allophone Synthesis
• Simple Interface to Most Microcomputers or Microprocessors
