[DECtalk] old braille notetaker with decTalk speech

[David Goldfield]

I don’t recall specifically a Braille device with Dec-talk speech but I do remember a computer called the Myna which may have been using that voice.

Hi,

I remember a very small computer called the Myna I believe it was? I first heard of it in around 1995-96 or so. IIRC it was a 386 running at 25 Mhz. I never actually saw one, so have absolutely zero experience with it.

Hi,
I remember in the 1990s or I think I remember, that one of my friends had an old braille notetaker, and it came with decTalk speech. Were there ever any notetakers that came with decTalk speech? If so, what were they called? If I remember right, it used the Paul voice.
