I have a DEC talk express that I got in early 1995 that works on this system after a firm ware update several years ago but that's about the only architecture from those days that still works today. The old Vert board unfortunately resides on a shelf since I no longer own a 386 to put it in. Even a DEC talk PC card will not work in today's systems because the card slots are very different.

Hello Howard and David, I also have a Vert prose 4000 speech card, also in a shelf, as it's too wide to fit in the relevant card slots of any pc I could find to purchase for the past ten years or more. I was still able to use the card with an old version of openbook, version 2 E, under windows 3.1 and probably up to windows 98, as openbook could use that card to produce the dectalk voices, but that was still in an older pc. If you have a regular dectalk express, you may be able to utilize those voices through that, however, not the Vert Prose 4000 card's internal attractive voice, though.

I in fact have an old board with the software sitting in a drawer because unfortunately it is no longer of any use for the past 14 years for me at least. To answer your question I do not believe so.

Anyone remember the old Personal Vert screen reader from back in the DOS days? I have a couple of those synthesizers around here and I'm wondering if any version of JAWS supports that speech board? Help? Thanks.
