I just uploaded a SpeakJet voltmeter program.  Believe it or not
this was a useful program.  I used it to 'calibrate' my four front
panel CV controls.  The linearity of the potentiometers is not
perfect so this allows me to characterize what the voltages are at
the various tick marks.  It's a lot easier to listen than to send
the data back to the debugger using the terminal.  On Start it reads
the voltages at IN-1 thru IN-4 and speak the values.  I have it
accurate to two decimal points.  It even switches between 'zero'
and 'oh' as in 'zero point oh five' volts.

OK ... now I nearly am out of ideas for this SpeakJet.  I think next
I will have it 'follow' the voltages and indicate where the min
and max transition points occur.  I'll see if I can get it to follow
my envelope generators.

As usual it is in the DBJ programs folder.

No, seriously, you should be able to get the thing to sing. 
Although you have to vary pitch and timing simultaneously.

Maybe a "singing" voltmeter?

It is also possible to speak aleatoric poetry if you setup a table of 
words and sentence structures. Use a source of uncertainty to 
select sentence structure, and then the words to plug into it.

WHY you would want to do that is another question altogether.
Is it art or stupidity? I don't know. I guess it depends on what it 
says (ha,ha).
