Talko 1.2 are now in stock, both as kits and as assembled modules. What’s new in version 1.2 Rotary encoder for smoother Bank change Encoder’s button can be pressed to simulate the gate signal going HIGH and make the module speak. Mode selection via a…
Talko is an open source Arduino based LPC speech synthesizer. It’s firmware can be updated via the onboard USB port, using the standard Arduino IDE. In Speech mode, the speech starts with a gate signal and complete before waiting for a new gate signal. The…
Adding new sounds or vocabulary for the Talkie library is not straightforward and I needed a checklist to smoothen the process. Here are the main steps : Recording audio with Audacity The recording has to be made at 8 kHz with 16-bit depth Export to…
Schematic Here is the schematic. Nothing really special : A simple RC filter I have used before with the Talkie library and a few pots to fiddle with the various functions. All the entries (cv and gate) are now protected with diodes to allow connections…
Credits This arduino based module works thanks to a clever library : Talkie from https://github.com/going-digital/Talkie I have already used this library to build a Talking clock It is so simple to use that building a sound module requires only 5 pots and a button to…
Talkie I’ve discovered this great library here https://github.com/going-digital/Talkie They have done an impressive job. The library is provided with a large vocabulary. It is a software implementation of the Texas Instruments speech synthesis architecture (Linear Predictive Coding). It is just amazing to discover what the…
