To keep this on topic just view the Type And Talk as a pre DOS version of
JAWS.
I used one with my Apple II+ in 1980.
They cost $350 and the alternative was a D E C terminal (DEC Talk) costing
well over $7,500.
And we think JAWS is expensive?

No actually Dave, I really am talking about a Votrak Type N Talk. (Sorry I
had it spelled incorrectly in my original note).
Very old technology I know, but I didn't want to just throw them out with
checking if anyone could use it.
It is an external synthesizer. You might could equate it to an 8 track
cassette tape as far as its' rating on the modern scale.
It was used before speech came with a PC. I don't sound that old, do I?
Always,

Are you referring to the Blazie Engineering Type and Speak, perhaps?
