You'd think there's something better by now? Better sound/voice processor somewhere?</p>

Less than 40 lines of code made a system that compares the last temperature reading to the current one, and speaks "hotter" or "colder" if it changes a degree or more.<br>

Just have to say THIS THING IS AMAZING!! I had no idea how cool it would be. The robot sound effects alone are worth the price ("Is that you R2?") And it was pretty easy to create some new words not included in the standard library. Robot profanity! (Childish, but hilarious). Hey, that might be useful for the Antimov thing, eh? Robot utters a few choice words before self destructing. ;-)</p>

Probably just a mixup, but how can this be fixed? It says M74HC238B1 on the back of the chip.</p>

The SpeakJet people loaded it with their code, removed (scratched off) the chip's original markings, and put their own logo on it. Pretty common occurrence, if you can't afford the lot size it would take to get the base chips without markings on them.</p>

It looks as though it has been used, or scratched by a cat (my cat loves to just chew on diodes and capacitors...)</p>
