[2016-09-11 19:55:54 CEST] summertime ;-) [2016-09-11 19:55:55 CEST] how is voice synth gooing? [2016-09-11 19:56:08 CEST] Yep, dry warm weather... nice [2016-09-11 19:56:36 CEST] voice synth needs more improvement. [2016-09-11 19:56:56 CEST] i want to to it novels. [2016-09-11 19:57:03 CEST] can it say anything? In german? [2016-09-11 19:57:08 CEST] to teach [2016-09-11 19:57:26 CEST] novels? as in books? [2016-09-11 19:57:42 CEST] yes, novels, poems and newspapers. [2016-09-11 19:58:13 CEST] Good, I have been fixing an Amiga. Thats got text to voice built in [2016-09-11 19:58:21 CEST] the problem is the german "r" [2016-09-11 19:58:22 CEST] are you doing the same [2016-09-11 19:58:46 CEST] whats that sound like? [2016-09-11 19:59:09 CEST] hard to descibe literrally. [2016-09-11 19:59:17 CEST] describe [2016-09-11 19:59:25 CEST] as in herr heinz? or frau heins? [2016-09-11 19:59:51 CEST] yes, and some other versions. [2016-09-11 20:00:24 CEST] Can you reprogram? or do you need to combine whats there somehow? [2016-09-11 20:00:31 CEST] rettich=raddish, but the "r" sounds different. [2016-09-11 20:01:05 CEST] reprogramming is impossible. [2016-09-11 20:01:32 CEST] there are about 60 phonems which have to be used. [2016-09-11 20:02:01 CEST] i will send you an mp3 file next time. [2016-09-11 20:02:16 CEST] \OK, look forward to hearing it. [2016-09-11 20:02:41 CEST] what did you fix with amiga? [2016-09-11 20:02:41 CEST] Are you using your module or the Currah one [2016-09-11 20:03:22 CEST] I needed to convert a PC floppy to work on the Amiga. Basically cut a track and swap pins 2 and 34 [2016-09-11 20:03:24 CEST] not the currah - it is designed for english. [2016-09-11 20:03:56 CEST] I also got a Gotek floppy emulator which reads amiga floppy images - so lots of disks on a USB drive [2016-09-11 20:04:38 CEST] i never had an amiga or commodore. [2016-09-11 20:04:55 CEST] amiga is 16 bits, isnt it? [2016-09-11 20:05:07 CEST] Neither did I, so I bought that and Vic 20 and C64 before the prices went crazy [2016-09-11 20:05:31 CEST] Yes 16 Bit data 24 bit address and 32 bit inside CPU [2016-09-11 20:05:43 CEST] very fast. [2016-09-11 20:06:06 CEST] The sound is very good, but it feels clunky. The Spectrum is a lot better than a lot of people thyonks [2016-09-11 20:06:13 CEST] Not so fast [2016-09-11 20:06:43 CEST] Bigger programs, more colour so the faster CPU is throttled moving data [2016-09-11 20:06:58 CEST] About the speed of a 286 PC [2016-09-11 20:07:36 CEST] Spectrums small programs run nicer than a lot of Amiga/ST games [2016-09-11 20:08:10 CEST] i didnt had time to try your calendar pgm. [2016-09-11 20:08:20 CEST] in forth. [2016-09-11 20:08:42 CEST] No problem, its just practice getting complex formula in Forth notation [2016-09-11 20:08:54 CEST] cause we will go tomorrow morning to spain for one week. [2016-09-11 20:09:26 CEST] Nice, have a good time. Where in Spain?

[2016-09-11 20:10:33 CEST] Im sorry to say, you may be disappointed. [2016-09-11 20:10:48 CEST] I've been to Malaga passing on to Nerja [2016-09-11 20:11:13 CEST] we have been in gibr 6 years ago, but it was very foggy. [2016-09-11 20:11:37 CEST] 6 years ago weve been in nerja too. [2016-09-11 20:11:41 CEST] So was I, did you go see the apes? [2016-09-11 20:12:13 CEST] My freind has a flat in Nerja. Up near the top of the town [2016-09-11 20:12:17 CEST] no, only stormy, rainy and foggyy. [2016-09-11 20:12:35 CEST] |Are you sure you didnt go to Manchester?

[2016-09-11 20:13:25 CEST] Theres supposed to be a tunnel or cave system from there to Africa. They say thats how the apes came acrosss [2016-09-11 20:13:44 CEST] funny. [2016-09-11 20:14:00 CEST] No, thats what they told us [2016-09-11 20:14:45 CEST] If you have a good camera you can take pics of Afdrica and blow up the image to see houses, boats and vehicles there [2016-09-11 20:15:15 CEST] Did you visit the caves at Nerja [2016-09-11 20:15:20 CEST] distance is 40km. [2016-09-11 20:15:44 CEST] ( didnt see the caves. [2016-09-11 20:15:52 CEST] what kind of? [2016-09-11 20:16:17 CEST] flowstone? [2016-09-11 20:16:40 CEST] They were discovered recently, they have lots of stalctites and stalagmites, There was traces of Neanderthan man [2016-09-11 20:16:59 CEST] They also have a large concert hall in there [2016-09-11 20:17:02 CEST] do you have been in? [2016-09-11 20:17:19 CEST] Gibraltar has the same but the caves there are wet [2016-09-11 20:17:29 CEST] Yes twice at both Gib and Nerja [2016-09-11 20:17:49 CEST] good hint for me. thanks. [2016-09-11 20:18:22 CEST] Also see if you can visit the tunnels they dug in Gibraltar during the war [2016-09-11 20:18:42 CEST] And the Moorish fort and the cable car [2016-09-11 20:19:05 CEST] But dont take more than your allowance of cigs and spirits over spanish border [2016-09-11 20:19:20 CEST] wait, wait. mainly we are going there for the beach. [2016-09-11 20:19:21 CEST] Spanish will arrest you if they catch you [2016-09-11 20:19:43 CEST] Well if its raining there is some hints [2016-09-11 20:19:58 CEST] oh, yes. [2016-09-11 20:20:17 CEST] The town next to Gib was a dump first time, second it has been improved a lot [2016-09-11 20:21:03 CEST] we had o pass this town, it was not very impressive. [2016-09-11 20:21:23 CEST] do you have been in granada? [2016-09-11 20:21:24 CEST] Like the wild west cowboy town [2016-09-11 20:21:49 CEST] No, I would have liked to go. Thats the RED islamic town?
