keyboard.txt on the SD card.Talko Terminal is here.
After the success of Emy in the Terminal desktop format, Talko now comes in the same proven enclosure.
Inside, it’s the full Talko Eurorack module, offered as a standalone tabletop unit — USB-powered, compact, and perfect for anyone who wants Talko without a rack.
It runs the complete Talko2 engine: numbers, alphabets, phonemes, classic phrase banks, real-time pitch and speed control, plus the new Error mode for continuous glitch textures.
A 7-segment display shows the active bank or effect.
Talko Terminal includes a USB-C port for power, serial communication, and UF2 drag-and-drop firmware updates, making hacking and experimentation easy.
A key advantage over the Bricky version: you get direct USB access, so there’s no need to open the case to communicate with Talko or flash new firmware.

2 new exciting firmware Updates for Nexus!
Two updates to the Sino vox firmware :
Connect a USB keyboard to the USB port using the gender changer adapter.
Do not use this port to power something apart from a standard keyboard.
The maximum current that can be provided is 300 mA.
I you need a keyboard, check out this Wireless Keyboard.
Type the text and press Enter to start the speech. (The Function button is also active)
Use the Backspace to delete the last character.
Use Escape to erase the string and start over.
Use the five potentiometers to alter the Speed, Voice, Pitch, Volume, and Language (Pinyin or English)
The busy signal goes up while a key is pressed. (if you want to trigger external sounds, for example)
more info in the user manual
Option 1 ( requires the Emy version 2.1 or bigger to be installed first)
Note This function simply
You can keep all the firmware on the microSD card and call them whenever you change the add-on vox
Note : Change the firmware before changing the add-on vox
Option 2
A truly remarkable pair of chips power up the Nexus vox.
These chipsets translate plain English text into speech in real time with complete dynamic control of the voice characteristics.
The TTS processor utilizes RC Systems’ DoubleTalk TTS technology, based on a patented voice concatenation technique using actual human voice samples.
Voice control parameters, such as speed, volume, tone, pitch, and expression, can also be embedded within the text stream for dynamic, on-the-fly voice control.
There is even a real-time reverb effect!
A serious competitor for the Vax vox module!
Say tuned for more demos…
Adding a duration marker to alter the normal duration of the allophone.
Here is the syntax to use in your .spo file : (add a + marker and the duration in milliseconds)
technology: \TT1 \EH +500 \KK1 \NN1 \AA +200 \LL \AX +200 \JH \IY mathematics: \MM \AE \TH \AX \MM \AE \TT1 \IH \KK1 \S spacecraft: \S \PP \EY \S \KK1 \RR2 \AE \FF \TT1 electronic: \IH \IH \LL \EH \KK1 \TT1 \RR2 \AA +200 \NN1 \IH +200 \KK1 electronic: \IH \IH \LL \EH +400 \KK1 \TT1 \RR2 \AA +800 \NN1 \IH +500 \KK1
SPO vox can read phonetics files from the microSD card.
Store your vocabulary in a text file and use “.SPO” for the extension
The structure of the file has to respect the following :
A label, followed by the allophone list, each separated by the \ character
1: \WW \AX \AX \NN1 2: \TT2 \UW2 3: \TH \RR1 \IY 4: \FF \FF \OR 5: \FF \FF \AY \VV 6: \SS \SS \IH \IH \PA3 \KK2 \SS 7: \SS \SS \EH \EH \VV \IH \NN1 8: \EY \PA3 \TT2 Empty line
Check the manual for the list of the supported allophones
📌 don't forget to add an empty line at the end of the file.
I also uploaded a dictionary of 130.000 words in phonetic format to get you started.
As usual, Emy sends the label over serial communication on the USB port. Here is another example where TouchDesigner is receiving the labels :
