Hello Jared, I don't know if this will help you or not, but gwmicro.com has tripple talk symthesizers with both usb and pcmcia capability. Also I heard other listers mentioning about other hardware syms being available, well, gwmicro also sells DecTalk express for $1095.00.I think that they also services DecTalk. think that Artictech.com also still has the transport. I don't know if any of these syms will work in the Linux environment but would think that they would. <hth> Ed, At 04:26 PM 9/9/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Does anyone know a synth that will work with speakup on a laptop?
