'''Speakonia''' is a free text-to-speech program that was created in the mid to late 90s by CFS Technologies and was discontinued in the early to mid 2000s. The program allows users to type out whatever they want and have a voice read it back, as well as adjusting the pitch, speed, and volume of the voice. Despite being discontinued, the program can still be downloaded at CNET, and additional voices can be added, such as the Microsoft TTS voices and British Male and Female voices. The program is basically the entire foundation of the whole [[The Speakonia Community|Speakonia Community]] and the [[The Barney Bunch|Barney Bunch]], as the voices are used for all the characters that appear in the videos. In recent years, however, many members have branched off and began using other TTS programs as well, such as TTSApp, Balibolka, Adpeca, and sites like Uberduck AI (before they stopped using custom voices, ~~mainlt~~ fictional character ones), though still use Speakonia to a degree however.
