CORRR-ECT!

I'm looking for a sample pack of all of the words/letters/numbers/phonemes from a Speak n' Spell (and/or derivatives). I'm not looking for crazy circuit bent samples... just something I can piece together words/phrases out of. Surely someone has done this.

Failing that, a list of all the words it could say would be cool as well.

I'd like English the most, but German/French would be cool as well.

Well there are Speak and Spell simulators on the web, so you can ask the authors where they got their sample sets from... Or just use the simulator yourself.

grouse: I've never used an actual speak and spell, but my understanding was that you can't make them say arbitrary words... are there simulators that add this functionality?

If it's of any help I ran the flash here through a decompiler and extracted all the sound samples.

Don't know, perhaps you will be stuck asking them for the samples.

Rhomboid is the man! But those samples will probably disappoint you phrontist. Unfortunately, that is the simulator I have used. There is another one for Windows which is linked off the Wikipedia Speak & Spell page.

Sounds 53 and 54 are now my Windows Logon and Logoff sounds. Thanks Rhomboid!
