[DECtalk] Questions regarding Dectalk USB purchase

[Brandon Misch]

actually the usb sounds more like the sapi ductal that was put on the list a few months ago. it is worth it if you want ductal but can't find the older solutions. It works on my windows 7 machine and Michael helped me out and communicated with me through the entire purchase.

As a matter of fact, I don't think it sounds anywhere close to as good as those older synths--but that's just my personal opinion.  Not surprising, really since I've been using DecTalk PCs and Expresses since the early '90s and am very used to them.

>> Hi all,
>> This email is intended primarily for list members who have purchased a Dectalk USB. I recently decided that I want to buy one. My first thought was access Solutions, the manufacturer. I was told that Access Solutions  accepts credit card orders by phone, not the Internet. I initially agreed to this. However, prior to making a purchase, I realized giving my credit card info via phone to a company with whom I have not done business with previously is a very bad idea.
>>  
>> A few questions:
>> 1. What vendor did you purchase Dectalk USB from?
>> 2. What is your opinion of the vendor in terms of trustworthiness?
>> 3. Were you satisfied with the product you received?
>>  
>> Feedback from Dectalk USB purchasers regarding my questions would be appreciated as it might help me make a Dectalk USB             purchase decision.
