You probably want to use serial over USB, meaning that you would want to obtain a USB to RS-232 serial cable. Some desktops intended for automation or duplication have built-in serial ports, but you would not need that. <br><div dir="ltr"><br>On Mar 24, 2019, at 06:23, Blake Roberts <<a href="mailto:beroberts@hughes.net">beroberts@hughes.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><style> body {height: 100%; color:#000000; font-size:12pt; font-family:Times New Roman;}</style>Hello everyone,<br><span>One of my dreams in life is to acquire a Dectalk Express. If I am able in the future to buy one somewhere, how would I connect it to a modern Windows 10 computer? I am old enough to remember serial and parallel ports. But I don't understand what cables would be required to connect the device to my computer so that it could communicate with my screen reader. On the software side, I know JAWS has a Dectalk synthesizer option. I recall that years ago, a member of this list created a Dectalk Express add-on for NVDA. How in the world would I connect a Dectalk device from the 80's/90's to my computer?</span><br><span>Blake</span></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Dectalk mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Dectalk@bluegrasspals.com">Dectalk@bluegrasspals.com</a></span><br><span><a href="http://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/dectalk">http://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/dectalk</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
