I have the Speech System installation manual and user guide, if you
would like to buy them.

The words are spoken by the former BBC newsreader Kenneth Kendall.

SOUND -1,198,0,0  produces the word "first".

SOUND -1,160,0,0 produces the word "Acorn".

The manual has a full list of available words and a technical reference.

To see what words are available, 

10 REPEAT
20 SOUND -1,GET,0,0
30 UNTIL 0

run this and press keys.  Ctrl-G makes him have a heart attack.
