Commodore Amiga 500 Text to Speech Synthesis... HELP PLEASE?!

I am trying to achieve the classic Amiga / Commodore Narrator text to speech style voice for a piece of audio production.

My question is - Is this achievable without having an actual Amiga? Is there an emulator or modulation software out there?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

You can find speech program on Extras disk (it's should be with Workbench disk).

Just use WinUAE (emulator), boot Workbench 1.3 and start the "Say" program. Should do all you need. =)

And to record the speech, go to the 'Output' panel, click on the '...' button at the top, select 'Wave Sound' as the file type and after you closed that dialog just click on 'AVI output enabled'

You need to download the actual WinUAE installer. It won't run on a MAC without another emulator/VM though (oh the irony ;D)
