The only difference in the me20/40 speech technology is that theese units use the doubletalk speech chip as opposed to the echo one. As far as I know, the way that the unit interfaces with screen readers has not changed from the old to the new model.

I had sighted help and when i changed to the c: drive and ran linux.bat they said they saw some kind of error message but it went by too fast to read. There was lots of text. My synth didn't say a word though. The problem is I don't know if I set something up wrong or if it's my ssynth.

Would it be possible to use software speach?
