Here’s my attempt:
Here’s a quick version that is closer to having speech synth. It’s not
a real synthesiser, but if you can provide the corresponding ogg files
it can look for certain phrases and play them. The result should sound
a bit better than a real synthesiser since the sections will be spoken
fairly naturally. Only 53 files to record!
Well maybe the strings you use could be made a bit more similar to
shorten the list a bit
