Show HN: Sam TTS – Recreates the classic Microsoft SAM voice in the browser

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 enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to bring a touch of digital nostalgia to their work.

This was inspired by both my childhood memory of playing with SAM on XP, and my curiosity about how voice synthesis worked before neural TTS took over.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback!
