I really think I'd have to go with Joseph's suggestion. As he said, it
had a rather smug form of expression or inflection, and I can't disagree
with that assessment or critique. But I'm fairly certain that it wasn't
the Vert Plus, because I worked with that one a time or two, and it
sounded nothing like the one Wakefield was using on the tapes.

I remember a dos tape, but I don't remember who did it. But maybe, was
he using Vert Plus? I was hoping I would get that, but the Commission
gave me Artic. Pam.

Subject: Re: Reminiscing about old Screen Readers and Synthesizers
OK folks, this question strays slightly off the precise topic a smidgen,
but here goes.
Some of you may have been acquainted with the intro to DOS tapes made
by Doug Wakefield. I thought these presentations were quite good at the
time. But what I would like to know to this day is just what synthesizer
he was using on those tapes. I thought it sounded a bit more pleasant
than even DEC Talk. These must have been made in the late 80s or early 90s.
I do remember back in the day thinking that I would never get used to
the sound of the Artic Synphonic (spelling), and was aiming for a DT,
but ultimately had to settle for the Artic.
Anyway, if anybody knows the answer to my question, I would really like
to know, even after all these many years

My first screen reader was called Enable Reader and my syn was a Votrax
PSS if I remember right. I also remember paying $500 for a 20 Meg
internal hard drive so I did not have to use 5 1/4 floppy disks to run
the machine. Of course that was a DOS machine
