Hi, I don't want to start a synth war here [smile], but the Double talk chip, which is used on the m20/40, isn't too bad, much better than the blt 2000! But, yes, I would *love* to see the bn supported, even though, JFW doesn't support it, and the m series does! [grin]. Speaking of synths, are there *any* hardware synths that work with speakup that are still in production, a part from the ones on notetakers? Just curious. Thanks, Arthur Pirika. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Stephen Clower Sent: Thursday, 28 October 2004 2:36 a.m. To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: M20/40 status. Hello Speakup, Yes, despite the documentation, the latest revision of the M20/40 firmware will allow you to use it as a speech synthesizer when you choose the BNS option in Speakup. I don't believe the Keynote SA is supported, but the older internal card works with Speakup. I'd love to be wrong as I have a Braille Note and would much rather listen to it read the Linux console than a Braille Lite 2000.
