Forget the 215. It requires you t o load software onto the board and to be controlled with VEST or sonixtts which were originally separate components. Anyone remember loading sonix (which said "hello") and then loading tts which stated "Text to speech 1.03 is loaded" then you would optionally run porttalk and then your screen reader. Unfortunately the artic cards require software from th e pc to run and go onto the card to make them talk; a bit like the dectalk PC or accent mini. Regards, Kerry.
