Hi THere!
My first synthesizer was a very old Type & Talk. There was only one
control for volume rate and pitch. There was no speaker so I had to use
headphones. The worst thing about it was it's awfdul sound. I finally
graduated to an Accent SA which I use for many years in colledge as well
as for job interviews and a lot of other stufff. I believe I still
might have it around here somewhere and I believe that it still might
work if I could find some sort of windows driver for it. Anyway, that is
how I actually got started in the speech world with computers. I did
have an old Apple Ii E which I never had speech for, although I now
believe it might have been available-just didn't know about it at the
time. Have A Great Day! de

These memories are great.
Well persnally I used first of all a little program at college called
word star then went on to word perfect.
Screen reader wise, I used to have an apollo synth with Hal.
Then when I got my own pc, I had good old vocal eyes, and when I went
to windows, went straight to window eyes.
Synth wise I had the old dec talk pc, which was the card inside the
machine, lovely bit of kit with its own little speaker and volume
control.
then I progressed to dectalk express, which I am still using and love.
I am not a fan of built in speech, and find it intrusive, but love dt
express.
Lovely to hear peoples memories. smiles.
