I am at present building a simple speech synthesizer based on the SPO256 (or
something like that !) chip. It's the one which works with phonemes.

Could anyone provide, or point me in the direction of, a program which
converts ascii into phonemes ?

Have you thought about using an Amiga for one of the onboard computers. You
can pick up a lowend one for about $300 these days. Not only do you get
speech systhesis with it but you get efficent multitasking. You could also
use it to control a mobile platform and you could program each function as a
seperate program and multi-task them.
I realize it's a little more expensive than the spo256, but it's also quite a
bit more versitile.
