Rudy,
As an example, may I ask what edition of Firefox you are running with
that dectalk Express?

Karen,
I use Linux speakup with a Dectalk express speech synthesizer. And I believe speakup also handles the
slot card version of dectalk though you'll need a desktop PC that supports it, so the software is there.

Kyle,
i do not consider my hardware decktalk provided via my reading edge to be an
example of text to speech.
By definition, and there are many, the term, which refers to taking
information in text format and rendering it aloud does not, speaking
personally, equal pronunciation ease.
In fact one theory about this has to do with preserving the audiobook
market.
granted, as was pointed out in a thread some time ago, I am not likely to
learn about Linux screen readers, no driver exists for my hardware speech,
and software synthesizer sources currently do a number on my brain.

That being said, the audiophile in me cannot resist pointing out that
pronunciation abilities of tts are of far less quality than those
provided by many actual screen readers, at least the ones I have
used...which???? does not include any for Linux.
That being said, the technofile in me cannot resist pointing out the
fact that every screen reader for every OS uses nothing but TTS
technology to read the screen. Well, I guess BeMyEyes doesn't, but it's
not exactly a screen reader, unless you need the volunteer to read a
screen for you.
