I have no reason to believe that it won't work with the DTLT but someone will have to try it and see. Anyway, here's what I did. I created a shell script called "dt-speak" which consists of one line which is as fallows: echo -e "\r`cat`\r" > /dev/dtlk The only reason I did that was because I wasn't sure of what I was doing and I wanted to come up with something that worked every time and that line was it. Anyway, I put the fallowing line in /opt/etc/abt320/tts `dt-speak` Screader works although it's not as responsive as I'd like it to be but oh well... It works. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that I should just be able to replace the script business with a line that says `echo -e "\r`cat`\r" > /dev/dtlk` in /opt/etc/abt320/tts and it should work. I have grand visions of being able to change synthesizer settings with my shell script at some point, though, so I believe I'll stick with what I've got. Anyway, I know some people have been wanting to make this work so there's a sort of solution. Chris
