Very nice videos, this series and the Amiga show are pretty great IMHO.

The video series, ignoring the off-topic comments, explores the evolution of any new computer system prior to what we used to call, "Canned Software." In my humble experience (IMHE ?) in the late 70s and 80s, if you needed it, you wrote it (or found someone who would accept $5 an hour to do it for you). This series explores that scenario, and I find it engaging. Thom, I commend your well planned videos, and hope the distractions don't veer you away from your ongoing endeavours

It used the same routine that loaded the Kickstart disk. Last edited by bdb; 21 July 2024 at 16:32. Reason: Adding unnecessary Grist to the Grinder |

Reverse engineering would be no problem for EU and UK.
Not sure about the strange jurisdiction in the US ... Any patents however would be expired, so the method itself is no longer under any protection. But there are also other, maybe better (?) alternatives: https://aminet.net/package/util/misc/SofTalk SofTalk replaces thehttps://aminet.net/package/util/libs/translator42 https://aminet.net/package/dev/src/trans42src This library is a drop-in replacement and works with all software that(still needs a narrator device) There is also an other possible route: Tiny Speech Synth by Stan 1901: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50530 JS online version: https://heckmeck.de/demoscene/tiny-speech-synth-js/ |

Perhaps but still easiest is just to take files from AOS2 - most of us legally own more than few Amiga systems so... Btw - not sure how computationally demanding is linear predictive coding... it should deliver way higher voice quality than original TTS in Amiga. |

Guys, can you please break the TTS discussion into its own topic?

Working on content for the next "Amiga as Workstation in 1986" video.
Here is a program that displays a heatmap rendered from an external system and sensors. It leverages Intuition's Screen system to show 2 layered viewports of low and hi resolution, because each scan line can be a different resolution, allowing the engineer to maximize screen space. |
