Hi, It's really a preference thing as far as I am concerned. I use a DECtalk and really love it! But there's other people that hate DECtalk.

If any of you use it, or have used it. Could you tell me what is so great about that program? The speech synthesizer sounds really outdated. So, with Jaws being as advanced as it is, why would someone use decktalk today. Or is it just a preference. I've also heard that Decktalk costs around $1200, while Jaws is around $900. I'm just curious.
