Welcome to the DECTalk links page.
As some may know, I did quite a bit of work with the "singing DECTalk", but now I am bored with that, and have found other interesting audio-related exploits. I no longer do any of this, but all my stuff is all over the net, since, for some reason, people can't seem to get over it.
This is just a page containing various links to as many DECTalk related sites as I can find, including all my old stuff in various places, so if one site doesn't work, try another!
So, is a list of links, files, and resources related to DECtalk. Fonix DECTalk page the official DECTalk homepage ChrisN's DECTalk resource Page a list of useful DECTalk commands and aditional resources Access Solutions creater of the new external USB DECTalk system, and the Trippletalk line of speech synthesizers. Supposedly, this new synthesizer sounds more like the traditional DECTalk version 4.2C, but there are currently no demos to prove this. Rachel Keyte's DECTalk page shwatscoff's DECTalk homepage according to this one, PdAudio.net doesn't exist! Ha! It's back, so blah at you, Shwatscoff! Scott Rutkowski's DECTalk page YorkTalk a system in development, apparently using elements of the "Klatt Klsyn88 synthesis engine.
Sadly, it appears that the page from the applied computing department at the University of Dundee which inspired me to embark on the single most annoying portion of my life no longer exists.
Here are my original DECTalk files.
Virus created in early 2000, this is probably the single most stupid and pointless DECTalk bit I have ever done, but for what ever reason, people still seem to like it.
unfinished Bohemian rapsody prompted by the fact that my computer was only half working, and I couldn't get on the internet or record anything with my sound card, I stayed up all night and created this very short portion of Queen's "Bohemian Rapsody". Please note the clipping, as I was using goldwave at the time, which is blah and bad, in my opinion, and hasn't any decent compression/mastering tools.
Shootin' in the Park Boredom was my friend in the early summer of 2000, and for the remainder of the year for the most part.
Depressed PC created as I was attempting to get a newly built PC to function properly to no avail
You've got mail! modeled after Eudora's mail sound, which incidentally was taken from a "Renn and Stimpy" bit.
Fight Originally written for a couple of guys who thought they could produce audio stuff better than I could.
Doober d Do in three part harmony Download it and see just how self-explanatory this description is!
Crash DECTalk originally written for Chris Skarstad in early 2000. DECTAlk express is busted, external power off, etc.
Chris, why are you so strange? another file I did for Chris Skarstad.
Yodlin' DECTALK my obviously failed attempt at making DECTalk yodle. And some people say I have problems...
Yellow Submarine a very short portion of the Beatles' "we all live in a yellow submarine" using the original music (easily ripped since the vocals and bass guitar were on one channel and the rest on the other), and two-part harmony. One of my very earliest attempts at making DECTalk sing, done sometime in late 1999.
Rediculous Late one night before a geometry exam, I sat up and fooled around with DECTalk. Curious as to what would happen if I used glottle stop instead of standard phonemes, I put this together. Stupid, pointless, and blah.
Sad DECTalk The only point in doing this file was to have more content on the original pdaudio homepage, since there wasn't much on it at the time.
Paul's driving experience Perfect Paul is one with the car he's driving!
Drunk DECTalk self-explanatory, although it's not good or anything.
Goodbye Dr. Jaws celebrating the retirement of Doctor Jaws shortly after the release of jaws 3.7, I put this together in about 2.5 minutes.
I really want your clock A file I wrote for Stephen Clower when I found that he was in possession of a sharp Talking Time I, one of the coolest talking clocks ever made! This was written on my laptop in a doctor's waiting room.
The clock is mine Steve's reply.
The Revenge of Borris written two days after I quit my job. I was bored and had to vent, in my own way.
DecTalk version 5.5 My latest, and most likely final DecTalk production, in which we are introduced to the new DecTalk version 5.5 engine... I thinkk...
