 | Welcome to the TTSCpedia (beta)! This wiki is the successor to the FANDOM/Wikia version! You may create an account on the new wiki during the Public Beta stage and begin editing. Please see the to-do list here. Any content from the FANDOM/Wikia wiki will not be transferred automatically, such as pages, and accounts. That must be done manually by the end user, being you. |
 | Limited Feature Set Many TTSCpedia features are currently semi-broken due to regressions introduced with the MediaWiki upgrade. We hope to be fully operational again soon. The MonoBook skin has temporarily been set as the default skin due to Cali not being fully ported to the new version of MediaWiki. |

'''Sample TTS voice''' was probably a text-to-speech voice designed to demonstrate the difference between fully-recorded words (how he was made) and phonetics-mixing (how [[Microsoft Sam]] and all other TTS voices were made). So because of this, whatever word is not in his dictionary he'll pronounce as "blah" (example: "Hello, my name is Sample TTS voice!" will be pronounced as "Blah blah blah blah Sample TTS voice.").
'''Sample TTS Voice''' was a demonstration text-to-speech voice designed to teach programmers how to write text-to-speech voices which interface to the Microsoft Speech API. Unlike [[Microsoft Sam]], Sample TTS Voice uses fully-spoken prerecorded clips to build its speech, instead of building it phonetically. Thus, if Sample TTS Voice runs into a word it doesn't know, it'll just default to saying "blah". (Example: "Hello, my name is Sample TTS voice!" will be pronounced as "Blah blah blah blah Sample TTS voice.")
== Valid Word List ==
Since Sample TTS Voice relies on fully-recorded word clips, there are only a small number of phrases that can be spoken. A full list of the recognized words can be found here:
* blah
* enter
* spoken
* type
* the
* text
* you
* wish
* to
* speak
* here
* as

* A similar voice for SAPI 1 or 2 known as "Jean" has been found in the Microsoft Voice 2.0 package. However, as of the time of writing this, Jean hasn't been properly introduced into the mainstream TTS world due to its obscurity and due to how early it was introduced.
* A similar voice for SAPI 1 or 2 known as "Jean" has been found in the Microsoft Voice 2.0 package. However, as of the time of writing this, Jean hasn't been properly introduced into the mainstream TTS world due to its obscurity and due to how early it was introduced.
* The voice's source code is included in the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 as well, as an example on how to write voices for the Microsoft Speech API.
** Several voice clips for Sample TTS Voice go unused (and are not in the words list, so attempting to speak these phrases will just result in the default "blah" clip playing). These unused clips are as follows:
*** "Anglais" (French)
*** "he" (English)
*** "je" (French)
*** "parler" (French)
*** "peut" (French)
*** "she" (English)
