![]() You then have to find your old cdroms for mac, if you would like to use MS WORD 98. (for the advanced coders, eventually if you'd like, I made a deb here ())īasilisk II V0.9 by Christian Bauer et al.Īny comments about whether you like the application, do not hesitate to post.Ĭan probably also work under Debian/ and other Deb based distro. (2) You lib is missing 2 files, that can be downloaded here. (1) You need libxt-dev and x11-common to be presentĪpt-get libstdc++6-4.1-dev # not that necessary So here is how to make it run under your Linux machine Ubuntu. If I find anything out, I'll comment again.MacOS, ? did you recall. But I have no idea what the program looks like or how to even do that. But considering what you're saying here, about how close it is to the voice but not quite right, It's possible the creator had a slight pitch modification running on Robot's voice the entire time he was talking to get Robot's exact voice, and edited the pitch further for the emoting he was talking about. I don't have the equipment or knowledge of computers to have even gotten where you are with the voices. It's incredible that you got that far, actually. The other thing I was hoping for was that there would be a massive TTS catalog that was available to buy that would have just a massive record of voices. The most stupidly obvious way to get the original voice would be to find a computer with Windows 98 that has the TTS program, but that's probably near impossible unless someone has a really old windows computer that runs OK. I poke around free program here and there trying to find one that oddly sounds like the real RJ voice, and my ex had ended up getting a virus that way, at which point we quit. ![]() I know damn near nothing about computers so I'm totally in the dark about a solution. But thats how they did it on the show, so it's no big deal (for example: "protocol" becomes "pro toe call"). One thing to keep in mind is you'll have to spell a few things phonetically in order to get the voice to pronounce it properly. Once installed you just type in your text, click the sound option on the menu bar, choose Junior, change the voice pitch to around 50% and you're all set! I had problems getting it to run in SheepShaver but it runs fine in Basilisk II. After hours of trying to get word98 to run to no avail, I found a great little program from the early 90s called Te圎dit that does more or less the same thing. From what I understand the Mac version of Word98 had a plugin called "word speak" that allowed you to control the pitch and intonation of the default macintalk voices on the fly, and this is how his voice was performed. So, Robot Jones's voice is just the default macintalk junior voice pitched down slightly. ![]() I figured out how to emulate his voice a while ago, and it sounds EXACTLY how it does on the show! Here's a tumblr shitpost i made to demonstrate: Has anyone used word 98 to do it, or got his voice right in any other program?Īs much as I doubt it was word 98, he said in that interview very specifically word 98, but I can't find anything on it, which is confusing. Now, as far as that goes, I'm not sure where any voice controls are in that program. So, I went through the trouble and found the actual word 98 program, and have it running on the mac emulator. It's pitch sounds a tad bit too high, and if I pitch it down with another program, it still just doesn't quite sound just right. So, I got an old time mac os emulator, with voices set up and everything, the junior voice is similar, but just different enough to not be right. Ok, I look into that and word 98 was on mac, which still leads me to believe it's supposed to be the mac junior voice. Some people say it was the macintalk junior voice, and according to some interview with the show creator, he claimed it wasn't macintalk junior, but word 98 junior.
