Hi HN,
I built a fun little side project that recreates the classic Microsoft SAM voice from Windows XP—entirely in the browser.
SAM TTS uses phoneme-based synthesis (no AI models), written in JavaScript with Web Audio API. You can type any text, adjust pitch/speed/mouth/throat settings, and instantly hear the robotic voice we all remember from early 2000s computers.
You can even download the generated audio as a WAV file, which makes it handy for game developers, meme creators, retro
