Microsoft Sam TTS Generator is an online interface for part of Microsoft Speech API 4.0 which was released in 1998. Select your voice. Note that BonziBUDDY voice is actually an 'Adult Male #2' with a specific pitch and speed. Select your pitch and speed. All voices have lower and upper pitch and speed limits. Enter your text and press 'Say it'. After creating an account you will be able to convert any text to naturally sounding speech and use the audio files for any purpose, personal or commercial. Here you can check the quality of voices we offer, before making the purchase.
Feel free to use the generated audio for any of your projects (commercial or personal). It's free! Hope it's useful for you :)
This online tool lets you generate a Microsoft Samstyle voice (not the exact original) that you can play and download easily.
Just wait for it to load (it may take a minute or so as it's a 2mb piece of software) then type your text in the box and click 'Speak'. You can download the speech by clicking the link that will appear under the 'Speak' button.
Old-school text to speech is great fun to play around with. Try testing it on long or hard to pronounce words, use it to narrate your silly YouTube video, post it as a message to a friend's facebook wall - the possibilities are endless.
All thanks goes to @kripken for porting the library to JavaScript!
If there's anything I can do to improve 'Microsoft Sam Online', please let me know!
Note: I was alerted in the comments to the fact that this is not quite the Microsoft Sam voice! It's apparently the voice synthesizer used by Ubuntu. I'll keep my eye out for a JavaScript port of the actual Microsoft Sam voice and update this translator if I find it. Until then I hope that you found this page mainly looking for a general computerised voice rather than the exact Microsoft Sam accent. Sorry for the inconvenience!
