Sine-wave speech reminds me of R2D2 from Star Wars. Does anyone know if sine-wave speech was used as an inspiration? Maybe R2D2 actually says coherent sentences in the movies, but we aren't used to that form of speech interpretation
I doubt it, only given that the sine-wave stuff I've seen is from way after the Star Wars movies. I don't think it was a concept in the 70s, but if you can find some resources, post em!
