Remember speech.com say and trans? there was a version of tinytalk that could use the pc speaker as well. I have programs for dos that play 11025hz mono 8-bit samples on the speaker with surprising fidelity. It depends on how good your pc speaker is too, many modern pcs have a little pizzo thing. Remember the pc-speaker is a square-wave generater that simply sets the speaker to +5v and 0v. Do it fast enough and you can simulate sounds using a technique called pulse width modulation. You move the speaker so fast it gets fooled into making far nicer sounds than square waves. On Thu, May 23, 2002 at 05:30:11PM -0400, Buddy Brannan wrote: > Uhh.
