ST Speech (short for the Atari 520ST Speech Synthesiser, filename STSPEECH.TOS) was a speech synthesiser application for the Atari 520ST.

As the Atari ST was an affordable home computer with built-in MIDI ports, it was used by many European musicians of the era. It's little wonder, then, that this application's distinctive voice ended up in various songs.
