I'm just now catching up on some lists ... I have both Doubletalk and Tripletalk synths here. Both used to work as serial synths with Speakup, but that is no longer the case. I don't recall when my Tripletalk stopped working, but it no longer does. I can echo strings to it just fine, but it doesn't respond to Speakup. Swap in the Doubletalk and everything works as expected. So, definitely get the Doubletalk.
