I've been trying to figure out how to work my SpeakJet into
my modular setup.  I haven't really figured out anything
spectacular.  Anyone have any ideas?

Anyway, since I loose track of the time while working with
my gear, I decided to write a speaking clock program.  This silly
little program speaks the time whenever start is pressed
and on the hour.  Great for letting me know it's time to go
to bed!  It is in the "DJB programs" folder.  It makes
use of tables of pointers to tables and offset calculations
since indirect addressing is not supported.

It seems to gain about 2 seconds or so an hour.  I'm using
1 mS interrupts to keep track of the time.  Anyone know the
exact frequency of the the master clock for the AtomPro?  My
other idea is that perhaps my clock divisor is off by 1.

Anyway, I would appreciate useful suggestions of integrating the
SpeakJet into something useful.  Since I have all the digit phrases
I was thinking of a speaking voltmeter ...

I experimented with the timer registers and finally got an accurate
time.

I set TCRW to $B0 which should clear the timer on match and divide
the main clock by 8.  This should clock the counter at 2 MHz.  I set
GRA to 2000 so that 2MHz/2000 should result in 1 mS interrupts.

However, if I set GRA to 2001 then the time count is accurate (at
least after several hours).  I rechecked the documentation and it
looks like 2000 should work.  Go figure.  I'll leave it at 2001.

Lead vocalist that won't steal your girlfriend ;^)

SpeakJet tuning is only accurate to 20 cents or so, like most 
vocalists.
