== CPC Speech Synthesisers ==
* [[TMPI speech synthetizer]] ([[MEA8000]] based)
* [[Software Speech Synthesizers]] (Software based)
* [[LambdaSpeak]] covers all the others
== Speech Example Examples ==
* [[Media:Parole_et_micros_-_TO8_-_Direct_recording.mp3]] - Direct sound recording of a MEA8000 chip (mp3) (Recorded on a Thomson TO8) * [[Media:Clair de la lune.mp3|The French song ''Clair de la lune'' sung by a MEA8000 chip]] (mp3)(Recorded using the MEA8000 emulator from MESS?) * Showing the TMPI speech synthesizer in action: {{#ev:youtube|oMa5ekqn06M}}
== Misc ==
* [[Media:MEA8000 Signetics.pdf]] - MEA8000 Datasheet (Signetics)
* [[MEA8000 Figures]] - Additional info on Filters and Parameter Translation (which aren't described in the normal MEA8000 datasheets)
* [[Media:Parole_et_Micros_-_Synth%C3%A8se_vocale.zip]] - '''Parole et micros - Synthèse vocale''' (1985) Technical book about the MEA8000 and its usage (French) (Some chapters are missing)
* [[Media:Klatt-1980-JAS000971.pdf]] - MIT research paper describing the Klatt formant synthesizer. The MEA8000 is largely based on it. (1980)
* '''Manipulaties met spraakgeluid, Philips Technisch Tijdschrif 40''' (Philips 1982) (Dutch) (this should contain technical details of the MEA8000 implementation) (there seems to be no copy in the internet yet)
* '''MEA8000 voice synthesizer: principles and interfacing, Philips Technical Publication 101''' (Philips/Elcoma 1983) (this might contain additional info on the filters & voice generator) (there seems to be no copy in the internet yet)
* '''PCF8200''' - newer chip, based on MEA8000 (isn't backwards-compatible, but works similarsimilarly)
