The TrippleTalk is from Access Solutions the same people that make the DecTalk USB. http://www.axsol.com No idea what chipset it uses or what other kind of hardware it has that's why I was asking on here. I was curious to know what made it different from the DoubleTalk hardware wise as I've been thinking of getting another external synth. The funny thing is my doubletalk LT is a quarter of an inch smaller in both length and width and my LiteTalk is even smaller in width. I was under the same impression as you that the TrippleTalk USB didn't work with speakup but I guess if Kirk uses them every day then they must be supported. Either that or there is a really nice version of speakup that we don't know about where every synth in history from the Echo to the Sounding Board has a supported speakup driver *chuckle*. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Heim" <jheim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 5:46 PM Subject: Re: tripletalk (was 4DOS) > The tripletalk is from RC Systems?
