Hi. I wanna know how to type in some words into an answer box, and the sprite will say them in a computer generated voice. Help?

This is a very complex script. Are you sure?

This would involve something that reads each character you type, one by one, and plays a sound file for each one. It could potentially be really cool, sounding like Animalese from Animal Crossing. I disagree with ChildGamer. While a long script, it's not very complex. It would simply involve recording and trimming lots of sound files, as well as giving them each their own place.

Alternatively, it could pull from a word bank. This is a little harder to do, but only by a margin. On the end of the spectrum involving tedious workload, however, that's a lot of sounds to record. Do you need my help getting started?

Not quite that simple I'm afraid, at least not in English - some languages are far more consistent in how letters (or letter combinations) sound.

Words can even change their sound according to context - 'I read that book last week' or 'I will read it next week'.

Phonemes are relevant http://www.lancsngfl.ac.uk/curriculum/literacy/lit_site/lit_sites/phonemes_001/ but as you can see it's not just a case of looking for letter combinations (ch, th, wh are examples).

If you're still not convinced have a go at reading http://www.mipmip.org/tidbits/pronunciation.shtml

Speech synthesis is horrendously complicated!

Use an extension e.g. https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/43915/

I get that. That's why I said it would sound like Animalese from Animal Crossing. The animals pronounce words character by character. A lot of words come out butchered, but it still sounds pretty cool. Words like “yes” even make it out on the other side pretty fine.

JUST USE GARAGE BAND

It costs money.

Well if you really want a computer generated voice you can check on Google. that will give you the best and most viewed answers. Otherwise try your own. Hope this helped

lol this is pretty easy.
get an online text2speech and download the sound, and then upload it on your sound section in the project.

idk

just make sounds forr eaach letter and then use someting like

im not the best with the scratchblock feature alternatively just hang each letter to an broadcast
