Will you make a version of MT3 for the ORION?
MT3 is for calculators that can't inherently generate music. Since the Orion calculator can already generate notes on its own, it's not as interesting of a technical challenge for me. 
The Orion voice module hardware - it is worth the price?

Motherboard chips:
Yes... Two ARM processors... Far more powerful than the calculator itself!

Great news - the Orion talking module for the TI-84 Plus includes a total of nine different voices associated with common first names - in order:
This evening, let's discover all these voices one after another!

That's fascinating, thanks for sharing. How did you discover this? Does the software offer an easy way to switch voices? Do any of them have accents?
As far as I know, you have to go through the module audio menu to switch voices.
No shortcut, and I don't know if an assembly program could do it automatically.
I did discover the possibility to switch voices thanks to Chase Crispin's official video, where 3 voices can be heard during a short time.
Edit: More follows in my next post.

The TI-84 Plus Orion audio menu news, now available in english for your convenience (thanks to Lionel for taking the time to translate).
Chase Crispin has released a new video clip of his voice-enabled graphing calculator, the TI-84 Plus equipped with the Orion voice module. This time, he provides information about the 11 special keys onto the module.
Among the video clip's contents are the audio configuration menu, accessible through the 'pref' key. A retranscription of the menu follows:
Code:
There's a surprise: we're learning about the fact that the module contains voice data for multiple persons. Paul was the default speaker until now in our previous experiments, but there are others, with a gender parity for choosing one's companion, as the module provides:
Cats are said to have 9 lives, and the TI-84 Plus Orion voice module has 9 voices
Given that the module already supports multiple voice tones, it should be even easier to add other languages in a future update!
But that requires consumer demand for such a feature...
