That's crazy considering how early it was and how good it sounds. They have trouble properly doing inflections like that today.

cool! that woman doesn't seem very impressed considering it was a long time ago...

wow.. impressive for that time..

The VODER was amazing. No text or speech input. The operators left hand had continuous control of the formants (analog band pass filters) and the pedals and right hand controlled pitch and volume. You actually had to "play" each syllable.
As "Waveboy" I made a voder plug-in for the Ensoniq ASR-10 in the 90's but never got to see the real one. Cool.

Ok, Im working on my Master's Thesis in Physical Modeling. I have been reading about the Voice Coder (VODER) and wanted to see it for REAL!! Wow, thanks for posting... Knowing the MATH behind it makes me appreciate what looks SOOOO SIMPLE but is actually very complex... WOW Homer Dudley 1928

Or Text...
This actually seems more like an early version of "Text-to-speech" than a vocoder since there's no speaking or singing into it.
