I also use a power strip to turn off all the equipment but the Double
Talk had a hard wired builtin battery whichneeded to be turned off at
the unit. This, over time, stuffed it up.

Hi,
Over the years, I have used both the external Double Talk and the
Tripple Talk syns and would never bother with an external unit again.
These units were of the serial type and both were quite expensive for
what they were.
The Double talk needed to be turned off with the on off volume switch at
the end of each session to save the internal battery. In time, the
volume control became quite scratchy and eventually I gave it up.
The Tripple Talk went the same way but in a much shorter time frame. In
comparison, I found the Tripple Talk to be not worth the money. Maybe
the later versions have improved.
For some time now I have used a Creative usb external sound card costing
around $60 connected to a pair of speakers with a volume control. If the
volume ever becomes scratchy, it is an inexpensive solution just to
replace the speakers. This setup has been working for years without any
problems.
I mainly use Eloquence as my software syn and find it very responsive.
The other benefit to using a software syn is that there are many good
free voices which can be easily obtained.
Currently I have WE and Eloquence running through the external sound
card and have another voice setup to run through the internal sound
card if required. NVDA also is setup to run through the internal
cardwhich gives me a way of tracing any problems if WE will not talk
through the external card.
In short, save your money and get an external sound card as mentioned
above. With the modern fast computers, lack of responsiveness is not a
big a problem as it once was.

Hi I am thinking about maybe getting one of these synthesizers.
The triple talk USB or the dectalk USB.
Witch is the better one that will give the fastest response time and
work the best with window-eyes?
now I know it maybe personal choice.
But I know A few of you out hear of used either one of both of these
units so all comments and suggestions are welcome.
And if you like one over the other please tell us why that is.
