[gui-talk] identifying a speech synthesizer

[Doug Lee]

I say it's a synth that uses the same chip used by the SynPhonix cards
once put out by Artic Technologies, used in the Braille'n'Speak, etc.
Significantly post-dates the Echo II if I'm right.

This does not sound like an Echo synthesizer at all.  I expect it is some kind of Votrax synthesizer that predates the SSI263.

Hey everyone, saw this youtube video of the hro robot from the 1980's. 
I would have loved to have had one of these, I think only 1000 were 
made, and for their time, they did quite a bit. Does anyone know what 
speech chip this is, I'm guessing it was either the echo or the ssi263
