Jameco still has the Digi-Talker chip set in their most recent catalogue.
They also have the documentation available at their website.

    I take it the National Semiconductor "Digi-Talker Chipset is no longer
made or available then?
    I used this chipset in a talking voltmeter as a senior project when in
tech school.  It worked fine.
    Check Digi-key.  They may still have it.  Also, Radio Shack used to have
a voice synthesizer
    chipset.  You may still be able to get it from "National Parts"  Just
call R/S and ask them if they
    still stock them or can get them.   I don't recall the part numbers
right off hand, but if you would
    like me to, I'll look them up and let you know a little later.    Hope
this helps.  Good luck.


Regards,


Jim

        Hi All,

            I have a project with pic to give some caution messages from a
speaker.
        But I look forward some speech chips for this project and find only
Nationals NSAM266 which is mainly designed for digital answering machines.
There are some DSP's but I want to use PIC to command the speech Chip.
            I will be happy if someone , worked on these chips,  help me to
find perfect chip for my project.

        Best Regards

        Ethem Murat BENER
