The beauty of SAM was that it didn't require and additional hardware, it ran on an unexpanded C64. I played along with the demos supplied with it, but never really found much use for it. As it was my first speech synth experience, which ran on my C64. Or at least, that is what it looked like at that time.Then a few years went by, although the memories of the sound of SAM (Software Automatic Mouth, by "Don't ask software") always remained in the back of my head. A completely true text-to-speech speech synthesizer, small, simple and in a box that plugs into your CBM, using modern components seemed to be a little bit to complicated. So, a fun experiment, but with a dead end. And to be honest, I still don't really know.

It didn't sound retro and at that time I didn't new how to change that. But perhaps the true nail in the coffin of that project, was perhaps the fact that the sound coming from the phone was was too perfect. And if something is developed for a purely Android system, there will always be a user who has an iPhone and therefore can not use it. Completely independent of mobile phone technology, which is a technology that changes far too quickly. So I abandoned this project, which was still in it's early stages and came to the conclusion that a proper speech synth for the VIC-20 should be pure hardware and should work straight out of the box. Anyway, things would be confusing or difficult to properly document/explain/support over email in case of user problems and various types of phones and phone versions. So from there I drew the conclusion that this approach perhaps wasn't the way to go and maybe even be too complicated for some situations. But also because the setup of the Bluetooth connection caused problems when the first beta-tester tried it out. I also didn't like the fact that I needed a phone+Bluetooth device instead of a single and dedicated device. It worked but didn't give me the satisfaction I expected.

So I wrote an app for my Android phone and connected it to my VIC-20 through an HC-06 Bluetooth serial connection. A long time ago, I wondered how the speech synthesis efect of the Scott Adams adventure games would sound like. But the project on this page is about SAM and this project does work perfectly fine on a VIC-20 (and also on various other Commodore computers that have a userport). But if back then, you only had a VIC-20 then you missed out, because SAM won't run on such a system, there simply aren't enough resources, since the VIC-20 doesn't have enough RAM. The Software based text-to-speech speech synthesizer package that required no additional hardware. Navigate to the directory containing hal3.py via the command line.If you owned a C64, an Atari or an Apple computer, then you might be familiar with the synthetic sound of the voice of SAM.
