I like this. The Speech Synthesizer is one of those great peripherals that didn't get its due back in the day. It is good to see that development for it continues.

I feel the same way.
I remember that Bert/Ernie demo and though intrigued by it I had no idea how the raw data was made.
I didn't even know that originally the program included the data in a separate file.

The author, never took credit.

At the time I think a lot of people thought that someone had taken the resident vocabulary words and altered them to sound like Bert & Ernie.

Highly unlikely.

Most likely it originated with TI itself, using their speech development system.

I have given thought about updating the Bert & Ernie program with the rest of the dialog that was left out. Now that I have worked out settings for Bert & Ernie that sound acceptable.

Or at least add more of it
