S.A.M. -- The Software Automatic Mouth
So. our original sentence gets written AY4 DUW4 MAY KAE4LKYUWLEY3SHUNZ AAN DHAH KUMPYUW4TER. Try typing it into the SAYIT program compared to the unstressed version. How about really unusual stress? When you place extraordinary emphasis on a word, you do so by elongating its vowel sounds. S.A.M. can do the same thing.

r/DSP on Reddit: How Software Automatic Mouth (SAM) worked?
July 21, 2019 -

Does anyone know how the text-to-speech used on the Commodore, i.e. Software Automatic Mouth, or SAM, actually synthesized the voice? Did it have any sort of recorded sample data? Did it just use additive synthesis? Or formant synthesis?

There's a github of someone's port of it to C here, although many of the variables, functions, and labels are just named based on their location in memory, not their function, so it still appears a black box.
