I too have a DECtalk USB. I only use it at times when I want to be able to raise the volume level without making the speech louder such as listening to a DVD. I use DECtalk Access32 most of the time for reading text.
Access Solutions may be using the DECtalk name, but they didn't get DECtalk speech to use with it. I had readers in college back in the 60's that I am reminded of every time I hear my DECtalk USB. How did I ever get that engineering degree?

Julian, You'll see I've changed the subject line to be relevant.I'm curious about the Dectalk Express you mention, but would you check the name? You wrote "UBS," but I think you mean "USB." Aside from that, I just Googled Dectalk Express and Fireball and came up with no results.I bought a USB version of Dectalk Express two and a half years ago, and it's slower than the old version. I'm hoping you've found a later and better version.Thanks.----- Original Message ----- From: "J. Black" <underconstruction1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>Jim,I haven't heard of that deck talk access card since about 15 years ago. Is that still around? internal I think?Have you seen the ubs fireball 1200 deck express external? its a newer version of the old deck talk express, much faster though.I think last I checked it was $500. good luck Julian-- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
