I know this is off-topic, but it originally had to do with Icon/BP right?Anyway, if any kind of other syntesizer support is put into the product.... pleas, oh please let it be Dectalk. I am addicted to the point of requiringone when I work. It's not that I don't like Eloquence... which is fine..not fast enough, but fine. However, if you use Eloquence, you are shackledto having your computer's other sounds be as loud as your synthesizer. At least JAWS, doesn't have a separte voume control. Maybe other screen readers do. But, I have to say, I do like the Icon spech and it is just fine for me now. John Esak P.S. -Perhaps, USB support for Dectalk could be easily implemented by levelStar, but then you are limited to the Dectalk USB which is so utterly different than the real Dectalk (serial port model) as to be almost unusable. :-(-----Original Message----- From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss- bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Johnny Lam Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 9:17 PM To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvementThe Dectalk Access32 is a pretty good synthesizer. it doesn't take up toomuch memory either. and it's pretty responsive too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Jones" <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 5:52 PM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvement > don't forget all the higher quality voice synthesizers take a lot more> resources so then the icon would be much more sluggish a lot more of > the> time. > > > Chase Crispin wrote: >> Neo Speech Paul. >> >> >> >> Chase Crispin >> http://www.blindmobiletech.blogspot.com/ >> http://blindmobiletechpodcast.wordpress.com/ >> http://www.blindmobiletech.net/ >> chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" >> <poehlman1@xxxxxxxxxxx> >> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 1:40 PM >> Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvement >> >> >>> Acapella would be nice. >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chase Crispin" >>> <chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx> >>> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 2:07 PM >>> Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvement >>> >>> >>> Or even dectalk access 32. >>> >>> >>> >>> Chase Crispin >>> http://www.blindmobiletech.blogspot.com/ >>> http://blindmobiletechpodcast.wordpress.com/ >>> http://www.blindmobiletech.net/ >>> chase.crispin@xxxxxxxxx >>> >>> >>> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny Lam" <johnnybrl@xxxxxxxxx> >>> To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 12:42 PM >>> Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvement >>> >>>>>>> hmm I wonder, is it possible to install our own synthesizers like >>>> the>>>> phonix Dectalk or something on the braille plus?> >>>> >>>> Dectalk is a really good synthesizer. >>>> ----- Original Message ----- From: "rich ring" <ring2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>>> To: <bethko@xxxxxxxxx>; <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >>>> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 7:23 AM >>>> Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: synthesizer improvement >>>> >>>> >>>> I need this feature badly, as I have a slight hearing loss and since I >>>> have >>>> received my docking station, I am doing more editing with the Icon. >>>> Incidentally, this email is being written in Dallas Texas on my Icon >>>> docking >>>> station. >>>> On Sat, 28 Jun 2008 09:39:24 -0700, Beth Koenig wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>>> I would like to see this also. >>>>> >>>>> Beth Koenig >>>>> bethko@xxxxxxxxx >>>>> Director of Deaf Blind Services >>>>> Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center >>>>> 2960 Main Street A100 >>>>> Irvine, CA 92614 >>>>> http://www.deafadvocacy.org/dbs >>>>> Health, safety, and productivity are the cornerstones of independence. >>>>> At the Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center we provide the training and>>>>> services necessary for the deaf and disabled to achieve equality >>>>> and>>>>> independence in all areas of life. >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> On Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 3:04 PM, thomas cumings >>>>> <thcumings@xxxxxxxxxxx> >>>>> wrote: >>>>>> Is there a way to add a phoenetic option to the icon when reading >>>>>> character by >>>>>> character so that you could get a >>>>>> phoenetic equivalent of the letter the cursor was over such as bravo >>>>>> for >>>>>> the >>>>>> letter b and delta charlie for the>>>>>> letter d.
