You are correct on all points Keith. The Double Talk and Triple Talk sound exactly the same. You would not be able to use Triple Talk with Speakup via USB but Triple Talk does have a serial port that would allow the use of it via the Double Talk LT driver with Speakup. Triple Talk is engineered and manufactured by Access Solutions. Their web address is: http://www.axsol.com I have found Triple Talk to be extremely responsive, even more so than Double Talk.

Sorry, couldn't resist another chance to make a point. What I just said was that they both use the same chipset, so I don't beleive that they would sound any different. Unless the interface to the USB somehow changes the way it sounds, but I doubt it.
