Hello! Thanks for the help! I plan to use dectalk on a computer with 600 mhz speed. The screen reading tools I plan to use is both emacs and yasr. Do you think this works? kristoffer -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:blinux-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]För Kenny Hitt Skickat: den 13 september 2004 11:48 Till: Linux for blind general discussion Ämne: Re: dectalk Hi. Fonix sells an external DECtalk. It has serial and USB connectors. I don't know if it can be used in DOS. As long as the DOS screen reader talks to the serial port, it should work. I just bought a used DECtalk express of ebay for $200.00. I only got the synth with no manuals or software. I'm using it now with speakup with no problems. The system requirements for DECtalk will depend on whether you use speech-dispatcher. If you use speech-dispatcher, you will have the overhead from it to consider. Yasr is the only console screen reader I know about that can use the DECtalk software without talking to speech-dispatcher. Emacspeak can also work without speech-dispatcher, but you will be limited to programs accessable from emacs. Window-eyes ships with software DECtalk, and I think you can buy a stand alone version from Gwmicro. Hope this helps.
