[Electronics-talk] No Longer Lurking; Dectalk

[Chaim B. Segal]

Hello!

Greetings! My name is Chaim Segal, and I live in the greater Dayton, Ohio area. I'm glad to be on this list. I have been lurking for a few weeks, as I have been busy with finishing up projects for first semester at school.

I am curious to know if there is any way to still use Dectalk with JAWS or Openbook? I have heard that USB Dectalks exist, but have neither ever seen one before or know who sells them. I have been using JAWS since DOS days, and had Dectalk as my voice synthesizer of choice on my first PCS. I really miss its voices, and may be willing to pop for it again at some point. Is there any way to use Dectalk beyond Windows XP?

Many Thanks!

Chaim
