Speech ICs
Winbond Speech ICs are ideal for all kinds of electronic consumer products with sound effects. Winbond Speech ICs are fully supported by in-house hardware and software development systems including demo boards, ICE boards, Winbond Integrated Development Environment (WIDE) and PowerScript ™ (a high level scripting language for quick firmware development).

BandDirector IC family is a high performance uC series supporting wavetable and speech synthesis, on-chip MIDI sound set, MIDI sequencer and MDPCM/ADPCM speech synthesis algorithms. Selected parts also support DSP-based long-duration playback at very low bit rate.

ViewTalk IC family is the solution for LCD based consumer products with sound effects.

Power Speech IC family is comprised of speech synthesizer ICs with state-machine type (for simple push-button toys) or uC type (for more complex play pattern and motors/lights/key-switches control).
