Hi Tom, Surely there is a more convenient and economical way of doing this than an outboard synth? I mean, there will have to be some supporting electronics to drive a serial port already. If a tire gauge can talk for ten bucks and a glucometer for 30 bucks and a multifunction multimeter for 40 bucks and some of those clocks for under 20 bucks then how difficult can it be? Certainly there is a cost/volume issue and I expect he already has quite a bit tied up in current development and production.

His plan would be to add a serial port at a standard baud rate etc. so folks with speech enabled portable computers, BNS and the like should have no problem accessing it. He's a mechanical guy so depends on "chinese electrical engineers' and is struggling just to pay the bills, so much overhead isn't desirable Will keep you all posted as things move along. Tom P.S. don't have a BNS or similar, buy a doubletalk LT I'd push for a setup that'd hook directly to such a synthesizer. cause you can buy one right now.
