Text to Speech // Shell

jb@bmbcon.demon.nl's icon

Hi all,

I'm trying to resurrect a patch that used aka.speech. (on a Mac)
I see that there are a few other speech / speak /parle externals on maxobjects
but I was wondering if anyone has experience with Max8 using them?

I made an earlier workaround with Shell from Bill Orcutt, but now the link seems to be broken. Is this
available anywhere?

Thanks in advance for any tips!!!
best, Justin

I believe that my colleague Jeremy Bernstein has recompiled Akamatsu-san's aka.speech object for 64-bit machines.

Ah, thanks Max, any idea where I might find that?

Hi, this run on Mac (mac OS 10.15.7, Max 8.2.1)

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Obviously you'll need some utility like jack , loopback or others, to have the speech back into Max

my Shell object stopped working ...
