Title: Eliza - two variants from the WACCI library one of which "speaks"

Unfortunately interaction with the speaking Eliza is kept very short due to an audio sync problem.
The speaking Eliza uses components (spchcode.bin and spchdicn.bin) from "Speech!" released by Superior Software in 1986.

In few years the ZI will look back how people treated AI in these days and then ... well one will get judged! It't the judgement day then. :o

Wow that was basic (har, har). But not much you can do in so many lines of code of course!

I loved the "termination" part :D

I wish I knew who wrote the speaking Eliza program, all I can tell you is that I found it on my own personal WACCI utilities disk which was made up from various files from the library.
Had the "conversation" continued I wanted to take it in the direction that I was worried because I was a member of CPCWiki and that everyone there was "Mad" and by definition I was too :o

Isn't that the goal of Eliza? To convince you there's something wrong? :D

In those articles I sent you, and going through the dialogues of the original Eliza, it's really ingenious how it twists the discussion to drive its points...

Have a look at The Amstrad User, May 1986:
