That's an express. the original dectalk external wasn't manufactured initialy for the blind community so it doesn't have any braille or anything on it. on the front pannel of the unit is the on/off switch and on the back are 2 db25 connecters, some leds, 2 1/8in audio jacks, a fuse, the power connecter, volume knob, and 2 rj11 phone jacks. When I power mine up, it's cooling fan spins up, it gives the touch-tone beeps, and says "dectalk version 2.0 is running". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Ervin@Home" <GlennErvin at cableone.net> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 10:05 PM Subject: DecTalk synths > I was looking at the fedora installation page, and I was wondering about > using the correct DecTalk synth option. > I noticed that there are 2 types of external DecTalks, the DecTalk express, > and the DecTalk external. > How do I know which mine is? > Mine only reads DecTalk in Braille on the outside. > It is black, I think, and is about 3 inches by 6 or 7 inches by an inch or > so thick. > It has a volume button/on-off dial on the side. > Thanks for any suggestions. > Glenn > > > Glenn N0YJV > MS Messenger: GlennErvin at CableOne.net > Work: gErvin at NCBvi.state.ne.us > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
