Who is SAM?

Software Automatic Mouth, or SAM was the first commercial all-software voice synthesis program, released by Don't Ask Software in 1982. It includes a Text-To-Phoneme converter called reciter and a Phoneme-To-Speech routine for the output.

This has been adapted to C and then converted to JavaScript using Emscripten.
