From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

   Dr. Sbaitso is an artificial intelligence speech synthesis program released late in 1991 by Creative Labs in Singapore for MS DOS-based personal computers. The name is an acronym for 'SoundBlaster Acting Intelligent Text-to-Speech Operator.'
   Dr. Sbaitso was distributed with various sound cards manufactured by Creative Technology in the early 1990s. The program 'conversed' with the user as if it were a psychologist, though most of its responses were along the lines of 'WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY?' rather than any sort of complicated interaction. When confronted with a phrase it could not understand, it would often reply with something such as 'THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.' Dr. Sbaitso repeated text out loud that was typed after the word 'SAY.' Repeated swearing or abusive behavior on the part of the user caused Dr. Sbaitso to 'break down' in a 'PARITY ERROR' before resetting itself. The same would happen, if the user types 'say parity.'
   The program introduced itself with the following lines:

HELLO [UserName], MY NAME IS DOCTOR SBAITSO.

I AM HERE TO HELP YOU.
SAY WHATEVER IS IN YOUR MIND FREELY,
OUR CONVERSATION WILL BE KEPT IN STRICT CONFIDENCE.
MEMORY CONTENTS WILL BE WIPED OFF AFTER YOU LEAVE,

SO, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS.

   The program was designed to showcase the digitized voices the cards were able to produce, though the quality was far from lifelike. Additionally, there was a version of this program for Microsoft Windows through the use of a program called Prody Parrot; this version of the software featured a more detailed graphical user interface.
   If the user submits 'HELP', a list of commands will appear. If the user then submits 'M', more commands will appear. There are three pages of commands in total, with guidance on how to use each of the features.

Platform:

This ver­sion of Dr. Sbaitso was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used. Mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.
