Blabberbot by Art is an experimental text to speech program for plain text files based on the Flite (Festival lite) speech engine PSP port provided by Mypspdev.

Changes:

Blabberbot V2 runs the speech engine in it’s own thread, so control is now very responsive. There are buttons assigned to pause, and quit the current text file, and text chunks are much smaller as originally intended.
