Any text desired can be entered into the text area. If the "use
color" box is checked, consonants are color-coded using a cellular
automata system. The frequency with which the CA update rule is
applied is controlled by the slider on the right.
When the "Speak to me, Baby." button is pressed, the applet goes
through the text speaking any words (or word parts) it knows, and
sounding the rest out letter by letter.
