The two demo programs that did text to speech for you (one was more sophisticated BASIC program) from the Workbench 1.x disks still work on all KS2/KS3.x Amigas.

I never understood why Commodore didn't spent a few extra pennies in maximising what was STILL an impressive party piece of the Amiga ie perfectly acceptable text to speech in hardware/software (PAULA/Libraries) when MS/IBM/APPLE were all parading their overpriced or rubbish freebie versions like prize cocks even though they were a decade late to that particular party :)

What I would like to know is were there any more sophisticated versions ever produced in PD or for sale commercially?

When I get a chance I am going to do a crazy video of singing Amigas lol

There is also the more sophisticated version (written in Amiga BASIC?) that allows much more control over how everything is said too on the Extras disk too remember.
