Well, synths seem to be a love-hate thing, some people like a particular synth, and others can't stand the same synth. I personally have had my doubletalk pc for 9 years now, and am happy with it. Hopefully, you'll consider your doubletalk lt to have been a worth-while investment once you get it. As for a usb synth, you should be able to use your lt under windblows at least via a usb to serial converter, and they'll hopefully become useable under speakup one day also, I mean serial synths via a usb to rs232 converter of course. > Heard there was a > screen reader for DOS, and was considering even that. Maybe under > dosemu. There is. Its called provox, and is under the gpl. Its author is on this list as well. You can find it at: http://www.mhcable.com/~chuckh/provox7.zip and yes, it will work with your doubletalk lt as far as I can recall. As for using it in dosemu, you most certainly can, provided you've configured the serial port correctly in dosemu, but you won't need to do that when using speakup, since speakup actually speaks in your dosemu sessions as well. In fact, if you tried to use both speakup and provox in a dosemu session with the same synth, I wouldn't be surprised if you ran into problems.
