Personally I haven't tried it, but only because I'm not sure who distributes it in the UK. When I enquired about it singing, Access Solutions said that it would. Does anyone know how to interface directly to the DECtalk Express/USB using a program such as HyperTerminal? thank you from Matthew Horspool -----Original Message----- From: dectalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dectalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Graham Pearce Sent: 20 August 2004 14:31 To: dectalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DECtalk], any views on the dectalk USB? Hey. I've just found out about the dectalk USB from access solutions, which is based on a 150mhz processor with 32mb of ram, so it's apparently 7 times as fast as the original dectalk express. It's based on dectalk express 4.2 drivers, so it should sound like the original dectalk express. There's more information about it at: http://www.axsol.com/axsol.php Has anyone on this list tried it, and if so, does it meet with the company's promises? Also, does it sing? Lol I can't imagine a dectalk that doesn't sing ... Regards, Graham Pearce Web site: http://pianoman.port5.com Email: grahamwp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Msn: graham12345@xxxxxxxxxxx --- the DECtalk list.
