Anyone remember Braille Link? I used this in the early 80s. One had to
keep one's fingers away from the dots as they were forming, otherwise the
poor little pins couldn't come up. How quaint.
Later in that decade I used Frank AudioData at work. I thought this a
superb piece of kit for the 25 x 80 DOS screen. Rendered obsolete at a
stroke by Windows, of course.
Carlos, you wrote: "VOTRAX ... said sugar instead of sugar!" This reminds
me of a comedy sketch by John Fortune. He is at an audition, and is handed
the sheet music of Let's Call The Whole Thing Off, a song he has clearly
never heard before. He starts singing with great confidence: "You say
potato, and I say potato" - pronouncing both instances of 'potato' the same.
Ditto 'tomato', and so on. He becomes increasingly hesitant as it becomes
clear that there's no discrepancy between his and his lover's pronunciation.
Eventually he breaks off and exclaims: "I really don't see what's wrong with
this relationship!"
John.

It has taken me a long time to add something to this thread; the horror of
feeling old!
In the early 1980s I used a BBC B microcomputer with a wonderful word
processor called WORDWISE+. The BBC B and the word processor spoke to me via
a programmable box called VOTRAX. I don?t remember who made VOTRAX, it came
from the US and always said sugar instead of sugar!
