Wavosaur has released version 1.3 of its VST Speek free text-to-speech plug-in, which is now also available for the Mac OS X platform.

VST Speek and AU Speek are free text to speech plugins for recreating the sound of the Commodore 64 Software Automatic Mouth vocal synthesis software.

This is not a vocal synth like “Vocaloïd”, it’s intended to do crunchy robotic lofi techno voices!
