The original DECtalk sold for $4,200, was reduced in price for $1600. Then the DECtalk PC came out. I can't remember how much it sold for. We also had the first DECtalk Express, connecting through the 9 pin serial cable. The DECtalk PC, when it started to fail, would randomly emit a high-pitched squeal. That one did wonders on your ears if you used headphones. Yow! I think we were using Vocal-Eyes at the time.
