voice synthesis on CX5m

Hi,

I own an MSX CX5mII and when I bought it, the man who sold it to me told me that there was a secret tip to access to a Voice Synthesier, a kind of basic command like "CALL FMV" would launch it.
Does anybody have ever heard about it ? The man told he read that in french MSX magazine of 85-87, but he could not remember the good command.
After that some other people told me that the yet heard that rumour but never saw it.

Mathieu,

I just found the information you seek at another site:

You need the YM-104 Music Macro program. The speech synthesizer is optimized for Japanese, but there seems to be a good selection of phonemes.
It should be possible to get recognizable pronunciation in other languages.
