One of quite a few special problems to consider is a difficulty in passing along messages (errors and guidelines) in a manner that 1) will be noticed and 2) does not totally stop the execution if the message is ignored. Speach could be a possible solution, which brings me to my question, is there anybody out there that knows of references to, and of cource source code describing Speach-synthesizers? Preferably those written in Turbo Pascal. Naturally, I'm aware of the fact that there are commercial products lying around. Those have a few big disadvantages though. 1. They are quite expensive 2. One more component must be bought/transported/connected and persuaded to work in all possible machines. All hints would be grately appreciated.
