Possible to capture LPC code from Text-to-Speech "SPEAK" routine?


OLD CS1

Recommended Posts

In my quest to add custom phrases to Extended BASIC programs, I found myself with a copy of the TI "Text to Speech" software. It includes two important routines: XLAT and SPEAK, which convert English text to allophones and allpohones to LPC.

 

I have been wanting take a manually-constructed allophone string and convert to LPC data for inclusion in a program. Since Extended BASIC's own speech routines are designed around LPC, it is this code I would need to include in programs for which I do not intend to require any expansions. That is, with the Text-to-Seech software I could load the routine necessary to make Extended BASIC speak custom phrases, but that would require 32k and disk. Even if the user has those expansions, it would be "simpler" to just include strings of LPC code to send to the Speech Synthesizer. (As well, I am not even certain I would be allowed to distribute TI's software with my own.)

 

The nagging problem is I still have found no way to capture the LPC codes!

 

Is there some way in our repertoire to convert an allophone string into an LPC output without sending the LPC directly to the Speech Synthesizer, so I can include the LPC as DATA statements in a program??

I don't know the answers to your other questions, but I am pretty sure the “Text to Speech” software was placed in the public domain by Texas Instruments.

 

...lee

 

Would make sense, considering what it did with its other Home Computer software.

 

Reading the manual more, the SETUP subroutine calls for a DSK1.DATABASE file which apparently contains the allophone-to-LPC conversions. I might do well investigating that file.

An idea ... if you load the "Text to Speech" software into Classic99 and run it, you should be able to find where it writes to the Speech Synth (at address >9400?). Then patch the code so it writes to a block of RAM instead, then dump that data.

Isn't the output of the XLAT function the allophone data you are looking for?

 

I have the XB Text to speech as well and last year I was about halfway through documenting them with an eye to getting a source code we could rebuild and use from cartridge programs. Getting the data out we can totally figure out. Whether it would work with CALL SAY, that I can't help with.

Crazy enough to work.

XLAT converts text to allophones, but the allophones are the easy part. Those are documented in the TE-II manual, as well as the Text to Speech manual. The LPC data to which allophones translate, THAT is the part which eludes me.

Dumping from Classic99 may be simplest... but if it's helpful, I have all of SETUP and XLAT commented, and about half of SPEAK, plus the basic purpose of most of the database worked out. This is incomplete, but might have enough information in it for you to build a tool to pull out the data you want (or alternately, maybe hack up SPEAK ;) ).

Was this issue solved here? I could never really determine... It seems like it just sort of fizzled out...

I never figured out what you meant by "Dumping"

 

I know there has been some interest in this topic, beyond this thread...

 

I have a solution in place for this. This solution works very much as stated. In order to achieve this though, I found it was necessary to swap out a line of code in the speak.obj on the E/A Text to Speech disk.

 

To solve this using TEII I had to make a similar edit to the TEII .bin file.

There is also a small external interactive data xfer program.

 

I would post the files... and description of how to use but I do not know if this is allowed as I suppose It could perhaps be considered some form of reverse engineering...

 

any thoughts???

What I meant by dumping was logging every byte the emulator wrote to the speech synthesizer to a disk file. The debugger allows logging writes to disk (though man, I haven't tested THAT feature in a long time). Of course, what you DO with those bytes becomes a personal exercise.

 

I think reverse engineering is all we do here... I don't think the forum prohibits it??

How about some FORWARD THINKING?

Hey,

 

I just want to throw this out there. Barry Boone wrote a program, Sound F/X, that allows one to play sound files through the sound chip. The source code is out there someone. I disassembled his program years ago and wrote a player for MDOS for the Geneve. Basically, it is load a sound file into memory, then play. You could do something very similar without using the TE2 cartridge "IF" you wanted to go that route. The actual source code was not all that long. It should not be too difficult to convert it into a CALL LINK routine and pass parameters to it to load a file. It does take up a fair amount of memory, but if you are doing something with a SAMS card, it may be an option to consider.

 

I'm guessing you would need a PC/Windows computer to record audio that could then be played back that would need to be compatible with the supported formats of the program.

 

Food for thought.

It should be possible to get the allophone table by disassembling TE-II. Not a project for one week-end, though.

 

Also, to get the LPC data within MAME, we would have to set a debug flag in the speech synthesizer emulation and recompile. I could do that if this is desired. The data would then be output on the console or saved to a file.

Beery,

 

sometime we need to discuss your geneve player and some suggestions for it ;)

They want to capture the LPC strings for the TE2 SPEECH device, Rich. Do you have that source? :)

Sorry never GPL disassembled TE2 yet.

 

Did start a project to do so, but other projects got in way.

 

People just were not that into Speech that much back then, LPC considered archaic compared to PC or Mac speech.

I almost have this ready, Rich's code got me to thinking... maybe >60 was what was needed to make my program's output compatible with CALL SAY's expectations. Sure enough I had been looking for the solution in the wrong place. I'm checking the length accuracy now. I intend to add enable/disable routines, so the whole system doesn't need to be reset between dumps.

Hopefully it will be ready tonight or tomorrow. :party:

I would be happy with a table of allophone to LPC. Otherwise, I moved on from the project which needed that information.

Should the LPC data in the table be pure LPC or start with a length byte or word(MSByte would always be zero for short data) or should the entries begin with 96(>60) so as to be directly compatible with CALL SAY? I suppose pure would be the easiest to concatenate, though you would have to determine the final length. :ponder:

Both XB and TE2 put the LPC from Disk into VDP and then use it, our problem is amount of LPC Library VDP space is limited to that GPL Cart.

XB has much less available space then TE2 does.

 

But ad in a TI Basic program and Speech to the TE2 and XB comes out oddly with more space as XB has 24K program space and 8K assembly.

Thus TE2 has more RAM but that does nothing for VDP used.

Either way is fine. My intention at the time was to use the data in an XB program and I was building my own phrases.

LPC EXTRACTOR VERSION of XB TTS ENGLISH disk

Easy and familiar to use.
The buffer can handle >2497bytes.
Buffer can be disabled while testing data.
Dual output: C$=length byte&LPC data
Output from D$ is directly compatible with CALL SAY.
Long data can be accessed directly from buffer @>3700.
Gets good mileage.

Two examples of how to use:
PHRASE decodes short strings.
TABLE creates an ARRAY containing LPC of all ALLOPHONES.

Use CALL LINK("ON") to activate or reset the buffer.

Use CALL LINK("OFF") to deactivate the buffer.

Use CALL LINK("LPC",x$) to access data (from within XB)

Use "y$=CHR$(96)&CHR$(0)&x$ to create y$"(compatible with CALL SAY)

sorry so little support...
