Hence, no speakup support. I won't do business with those kind of people, even though the Triple Talk is well within my budget. I would suggest that others do the same. I wonder about the possibility of reverse-engineering one of these synths using a Windows system. For example, usbsnoop is a win32 program that can monitor traffic to and from USB devices (see http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/). -- Chris
