Hi Martin.

There was a keynote speech synthesiser which was entirely software based, it
was one of the first ever text to speech synths that didn't need supporting
hardware to run only a sound card.  They did 16-bit and 32-bit versions for
windows 3.1X and windows 95 respectively, but for some reason discontinued
it.  The very first example of text to speech synths came with the sound
blaster card, I think the AWE32 model.  I'm pretty sure it was called
Keystone but don't quote me on that *smile*.  Anyway, back to the keynote
gold synth, it used the then standard SSIL interface developed I think by
arkenstone and which was an architecture that allowed for interoperability
with screen access and other access products with a much wider variety of
synths.  All the synth manufacturer or developer would have to do is create
an SSIL driver and Jaws, Lexis etc would instantly work with it.

All the best, Ibrahim.
