Well, Michael, if you wanted to spend around $795 you could get a Dec-Talk USB from Access Solutions, near Sacromento www.axsol.com With speakup, I must run in rs232 mode, but when I ran connected to a windows laptop, running Jaws, I switched over to the usb setting. A Dectalk would give you nearly the best speech, unless you want to try the IBM TTS which sounds like eliquence Good luck Hart
