Do you wish your characters could really speak?

How to add our own mp3 audio in our project

I was finding text to speech for a project but I havent found anything like that

Every Single @Richard Extension!

kind of like Text to speech but for makecode … Or it this just a hopeless topic

For the first time, you CAN!

You can get the extension here, and everything you need to know is right here on the SAMMY website!

This audio illusion is based on the principles of ‘formant synthesis’, where multiple sounds called ‘formants’ are layered to synthesize a human voice.
So the formants making up ‘m’ ‘a’ ‘k’ and ‘e’ are about the same every time you say them, cutting out the need to record audio or store massive amounts of data. SAMMY can speak with just 3 sine waves at a time!

SAMMY (Short for Software Automatic Mouth Makecode Yippee) can speak whatever your heart desires! You can either program sounds in manually or use the automatic generator on the website, then SAMMY will do the rest.

Notes

This project has been in the works for quite a few years now, on and off, and I’m happy I was finally able to polish it and make a tool to hopefully make it easier to use.
I’d like to thank other users who have experimented with formant synthesis like @chembot @richard and @BLADEr , the moderators (of course!), and @unique for running the UAT2 where SAMMY began. This extension wouldn’t have been possible without their help and the rest of the forum’s overwhelming support for the project!
I’d be happy to answer any questions you have, fix any bugs, or see what you make!!
