  SofTalk is a new speech synthesizer that can be used on all Amiga 
operating systems.  No hardware is required.  SofTalk replaces the
narrator device and translator library on Amiga operating systems
v1.0 thru v2.04, and should be compatible with most application programs
that used the original Amiga speech capability.  SofTalk supports 
most of the operational features of the original Amiga speech system,
and provides a number of new vocal characteristics.

  Includes "installer" and  "remover" programs, a demonstration program,
and documentation file.  For convenient installation, it is recommended 
that the SofTalk.lha archive be uncompressed (preserving the directory
structure in the archive) on a dedicated diskette having the name SofTalk:
Alternately, uncompress the archive to a hard drive directory to which you
can Assign the name "SofTalk:" while you run the "installer" program.

  SofTalk is a file-based synthesizer, and both the translation of text
to speech symbols, and the generation of vocal sound from these symbols,
can be changed by editing files.  A basic English text translation
is provided, and three different voice files are included.  Application
programs exist to edit these files or create completely new files.
Persons interested in the subject of computer speech will find that
SofTalk provides a capability for home computer users to do meaningful
work in this field.
