Basic use

In its simplest form, the DAB will mimic the original S-Com speech synthesizer board, and thus it is compatible with any version of 7K firmware that supported the speech board.

The default speech library included with the DAB includes digitized versions of the original TI speech synthesizer vocabulary. The recordings of the TI speech synthesizer have been low pass filtered to provide a sound which is less harsh than the original speech synthesizer.

In addition to the original vocabulary, additional words have been recorded by a professional voice over talent. The list of those words can be found in Appendix A.

If the user wishes to have custom words and phrases recorded in the same voice they may contact:
