Hi guys, I need a good hardware synth. My employer is willing to spend around 300 bucks or so....I need it to work with a variety of linux apps, like SpeakUP for sure, and possibly EmacSpeak as well. Also anything else that uses a hardware synth if that's possible. What's a good one people? In my opinion the DoubleTalk's quality is just *shutter* but if that's the best for that price range, I guess I'll have to go with that. Thank you all for any replies. Take care, Sina _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
