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


Experience the nostalgic Microsoft SAM text-to-speech voice from Windows XP. Our modern implementation, SAM TTS, brings the classic Microsoft Speech API voice to your browser with authentic retro computer speech sounds.

You can input text, adjust voice parameters (pitch, speed, mouth, throat), and instantly hear or download the resulting Microsoft SAM speech. While SAM TTS can handle most everyday phrases, very technical terms or unusual proper names might require phonetic input for best results. You can use the Microsoft SAM speech output for both personal and commercial purposes, with options to play audio directly or download WAV files.
