If you happen to find something out there that I The above statement --"the author of emacspeak has made it dectalk voices specific" is grossly untrue Emacspeak does provide aural syntax coloring using Dectalk voices if you happen to have a dectalk, but this is a user toggle that can be turned on and off. And though the author of the note I am following up to chooses to say "I have looked through that code ..." I bet you that anyone who is motivated enough to develop a driver for other synthesizers would be able to develop a voice locking module for other speech boxes if he/she so chooses. In the free software world, things never happen if one just chooses to ask for things; one has to be prepared to give as well. > have missed though please let me know cause like you there is no way I am > going to buy a dec talk at that price. > > Ken /whistler > > On Tue, 3 Dec 1996, Ben Van Poppel wrote: > > > I haven't actually got Linux yet but I thought I'd better start > > researching.
