Welcome to the Speech Chips Data Archive & Repository, a free service provided by Savage Innovations.
Striving to be the premier online destination dedicated to preserving the legacy of vintage speech (and sound) ICs,
it is my mission is to safeguard (and provide to the public - at no cost) the rich history of these remarkable components that once revolutionized the way we interact with technology.
The Collection
At the heart of the archive lies an extensive collection of data sheets, sound samples, and details of the products powered by these iconic chips that I have personally collected through the years.
From the classic
Votrax SC-01-A
and the
SP0256-AL2 Orator
chips to the
Speakjet
and
Soundgin,
this repository serves as a comprehensive resource for those eager to explore the auditory landmarks of technological innovation.
New Too!!!
In addition to the vintage smattering of chips, the latest additions to the auditory landscape have a home in the archives as well - including the HOT OFF THE PRESS

With so much to explore and discover in this new chip, you simply can't miss out on taking a look firsthand.

Beyond the digital archives, this platform hosts a store tailored for the vintage IC aficionado. Whether you're seeking specialized tools to tinker with these chips,
looking to own a piece of computing history, or a chip creator looking to supply the world with your brainchild,
the store offers a curated selection of products and components, including rare finds and essential accessories for your vintage tech projects.
