Mag,

Thanks for having faith that I will make a company some day, I feel its
needed for a individual with a disability to start developing and
producing.

About the DecTalk, it's embarrassing to say, there haven't been great
improvements in the software, especially for female voices, like I would
love to see because our female users really get taken in that
department.  But last fall, somebody sent me a website with samples of
new computer generated voices, which I felt were good sounding and a
step in the right direction.  If I still had the website, I would give
it to you.  I think it was called Nature Speaking.

Thanks,
Anthony

Anthony, that is a great article and a wonderful tribute to PRC!  I know
you'll make a great company!

What is the voice like on your machine? I do wish my voice output was
clearer
and not so mechanical.  I have a link, with nine voices that have not
improved in 20 years! The DEC was great when it first came out, it was
the
first - but I can't believe nobody can improve the  sound. As the expert
here, Anthony, what can you tell me about this end of the speech output
devices?
