other vista narrator voices?
« on: September 22, 2009, 06:24:08 AM »
Does anyone know of a program or download that will get me  more narrator voices than microsoft anna?  I would like to have a robot like voice or something for a project I'm working on.  Thanks in advance.

You might like Microsoft Sam, I believe he comes bundled with an older version of Ventrillo.

I have Microsoft Sam on another computer with XP and I'm not very impressed.  I think a cyborg like voice would be cool for this project.  :)

Hi well i can't say about the vista voices but if you want to put voice samples IN your robot there is a PCB here that looks interesting;
www.talkbotbrain.com
it also drives 8 servos and has open source PIC code etc.

Hi,

I think a cyborg like voice would be cool for this project.  :)
Besides the fact that a cyborg is a human augmented with cybernetics and as such will talk just like you and me ;D you might try to find a software filter that does post processing of the output from the speech routine.
A four quadrant multiplier should enable you to get a very robot-like voice and even a chopper could be used for some really retro-robot-voice results.

A rather fast and fairly heavy robot with quite large wheels needs what? A lot of power?
