That's pretty much the way I did it when I wrote my harness racing program in Turbo Pascal for DOS many moons ago. It wasn't hard to be able to have my voice reading off the order of finish after the race with a minimal number of sound files. My uncle scratched his head at how my voice could be reading off the order of finish of a race for which I couldn't pick the winner from the printed past performances-- even though there were only about a dozen sound files that could be combined to read off any order of finish, it sounded reasonably natural.From the top down 6 5 8 3 4 2 1 7 10 9 Time for the 1600 meters One minute fifty-four and six tenths seconds. Second winner on the card for Frank Smith A lot depends upon exactly how the announcer reads the sound clips. It takes a bit of planning and imagination to get it to sound natural. As for size-- I had 1000 horses, 100 trainers, 100 drivers, and various other files. It would all easily fit on one CD. Hard to believe that even with Windows NT the MTA couldn't have fit everything in 2 GB easily. After all, it's a dedicated system-- no kids' pictures or scanned PDF files or MP3 album downloads to clutter the hard disk. |
