Hi, I am assuming you are refering to the Dectalk Express. Yes, Speakup comes with ssil drivers for the Dectalk, and you can specify it on the commandline when you load Linux.For example: speakup_synth=dectlk Then, Speakup will load speech for the Dectalk Express. If you wanted to load a bns instead you would enter: speakup_synth=bns Of course during setup you have the option of having this come up automatically, or create a menu of choices to choose synths on startup. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anna Schneider <annas@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: Speakup List <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 6:50 PM Subject: Dectalk question. > > So, the Dectalk I have is an external and is several years old.
