i do not think that dectalk is cool anymore. it seems to mumble at high rates of speed, and it constantly messes with the rate by itsemf. for example, it'll slow down and speed up on certain words. i don't like that much. i still use screen power speech, with dectalk drivers for dos v4.1, w/ a dectalk pc. anything else (newer drivers) mumble. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Crawford" <CCrawford@xxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 9:34 AM Subject: Re: Help needed with DECTALK EXPRESS > chris, > > Sounds like the dectalk express has the problem.
