The one broken pin I see can be repaired. I can’t see the other ones. Did the chip work? Why did you take it out? Take a fine sturdy wire to pick out the broken leg.
You can get a new chip for about $30 including shipping. If the old one was working and all the legs can be fixed I wouldn’t buy a new one.

The pins don’t look that bad. I solder a good pin from another chip on to the stub of the broken pin. If the stub is too short or the corrosion is really bad it won’t work. I wouldn’t bother doing this with readily available chips, but these are hard to find and getting expensive.

If you have garbled speech on only some the call outs it probably one of the roms that’s the issue. If the speech chip is bad it’s usually no speech or all the call outs are distorted.

Post pics of both sides of the chip. Hopefully there is enough material left on the broken pins to solder onto.

The tms5200 might not be the problem anyway. If you have some speech garbled and some clear it’s often one of the roms that’s bad. In my experience if the tms5200 is bad, all speech is garbled.

And for anyone else out there, NEVER remove this chip unless absolutely necessary. The legs break off most of the time you try to pry one out, and you end up here.
