The above timings are taken as-is from the SP0256-AL2 data sheet (unlike as on real hardware, these values are rounded to 10ms boundaries, and aside from that inaccuracy, some timing values may be wrong).

For curiosity, below are some other SP0256-xx variants (none of the known CPC devices are using that variants though).
== SP0256-012 Word List ==
This chip is used in the "Intellivoice" expansion module for Mattel's Intellivision.

There isn't much known about the SPB640 FIFO, as far as I understand, it does have three functions: It can hold up to 64 word/allophone numbers (to be injected to A1..A8 pins of the SP0256), it can hold opcodes/parameters (to be injected to SER IN pin of the SP0256), and it includes a general purpose I/O port.

== SP0256-019 (or rather SP0256B-019) Allophone/Word/Phrase List ==
This chip is used in "The Voice", an expansion module for the Odyssey 2. The chip contains the following allophones and words:
80h..BFh Allophones (same as 00h..3Fh on SP0256-AL2) C0h "Enemy"
C1h "All clear" C2h "Please" C3h "Get off" C4h "Open fire"
C5h "Watch out" C6h "Mercy" C7h "Hit it" C8h "You blew it"
C9h "Do it again" CAh "Incredible" FAh "U.F.O." FBh "Monster!"
Not sure why bit7 is set in the codes (it should be written like so to the O2 I/O ports, but maybe the bit isn't actually passed to the SP0256 chip)?
Additionally, the expansion module contains 3 built-in speech ROMs with sound effects and various words/phrases like "Amazing", "Come on", "Outch", etc. Moreover, Odyssey 2 game cartridges can contain up to 5 external speech ROMs. For details see "Odyssey 2 Technical Specs" from Daniel Boris.
