Thanks for that. So that confirms it - Cloanto

Here's something that might help,
SPO256-AL2 Sample Pack
This is a set of waveforms recorded from the General Instruments SP0256 speech synthesizer chip. They might not match up very well with SoftVoice's samples in the narrator device, but have the advantage of being freely distributable for non-commercial purposes.
Another chip that might be worth looking at is the Votrax SC-01 (I had one of these in 1981). Here's an emulator for it with samples:-
