[sdiy] speech synthesizer

[BR]

Cool, thanks! and to everyone who responded.  I've
circuit-bent a Speak n Spell before, and that was a
pretty fun and easy way to play with speech synthesis.
 Since it's also by Texas Instruments, and more
modern, the module I have probably isn't much better,
or different, now that I think about it.  So maybe its
not worth the effort..
