I'm the author of that speech software, way back in 1985.It all fitted into 7K of ram. And it was quite well known back in the BBC Micro days.And it appears that the webbotlib synth has been lifted directly from it. It sounds the same and the English to phoneme dictionary is the same.I own the copyright of this data.
Thanks,My main issue here is that it's being potentially sold on as someone else's work. Which is not right at all.
I was told he was going to sell the speech part. They might be wrong.Either way...It's still copyright theft in every sense of the meaning.
Thanks for you comments. I'm currently considering a copyright lawyer. But a good start would be to stop web sites promoting webbotlib.[I understand the irony of bumping this thread, but hey ]
