functioning version, see below.
- If you have an XT type machine, you are allowed to adjust
the speed from the command line.
Some XT machines (turbo, necv20) may have to use the sp command
to produce the correct speed.

use Note sp8
to slow it down a little
(fast) (slow)
The default value for XT's is 5. The range is sp0 to sp30.
The sp command has no effect if you have an AT type computer.
Note Baron is processor speed independent on all AT type machines
and should run correctly at any processor speed.

Welcome to CompTalk!
I understand the following words :
oh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
100 1000 am pm tin time a about after and any are as at away back be buy
come comp do down eheheh enter ever go good haha have he hello help hey
his hit hmmm i if in is it key left maybe me my never no not now of ok
on oops or out quiet repeat right say so talk that the there this
touch up was we were what who will with wrong yes you
I also understand these commands :
sp0 - sp20 del0 - del100
sp0 = fast voice del = 1/2 second pause
sp7 = regular voice del1 = 1/10 second pause
sp20 = slow voice del10 = 1 second pause
The SAMPLE screen enables one to try each word independently, at
various playback speeds. Use the cursor up and down keys to select
a word, then hit the enter key to hear it. Use the F9 - F10 keys
to vary the speed of the playback. To exit hit the x key or esc key.
The COMPOSE screen is a lot of fun. One may compose up to 5 different
sentences for playback. Compose starts off with 3 sentences that I've
included to spark your imagination. These can be erased and replaced
with ones of your own. See how one can use the sp and del commands
to produce various effects on the playback? Sentences which are played
successfully in the Compose screen may be entered from the command line.
At the top of the Compose screen you will see a line of available
editting commands. These will aid you in quickly typing sentences.
The cursor up-down keys will move from sentence to sentence.
Exit by hitting the enter key when exit is outlined, or just hit the
esc key. Your sentences will remain until you end the program.
Hit the enter key to hear your sentence. If you would like to save
the entire sentence for playback from PLAY.EXE, the distributable
program, press the F10 key. CompTalk will speak your sentence as it
saves it to disk under the name - test - . Rename the test file to
something else before saving another sentence. PLAY.EXE will attempt to
speak any file name passed to it, so you may rename your creations
as you wish.
Example: - save your sentence with the F10 key
- exit CompTalk and at the dos prompt enter :
play test
- rename your file to an 8 letter name of your choice
by typing :
ren test newname
- now you can play your creation by typing :
play newname
This way, you may accumulate as many distributable files as you wish.
You are free to include these files and the program PLAY.EXE with your
own programs.
Command line entry :
Enter any combination of words and commands from the command line.
Example: ctalk hello there del10 sp5 who is it
Simply type the words and commands after Ctalk
from the dos prompt. When words are entered in
this fashion, no title screen will be displayed.
One may shell to Ctalk from another program or call
Ctalk from a batch file without disturbing the
current screen.
100+ words and numbers, multiple speeds, XT/AT detection
Just think! You can have over 100 words and numbers at your command!
