HardWare Synthesizers

[Hart Larry]

Well, Michael, if you wanted to spend around $795 you could get a Dec-Talk USB 
from Access Solutions, near Sacromento
www.axsol.com
With speakup, I must run in rs232 mode, but when I ran connected to a windows 
laptop, running Jaws, I switched over to the usb setting.  A Dectalk would give 
you nearly the best speech, unless you want to try the IBM TTS which sounds 
like eliquence
Good luck
Hart
