Thanks.  How do you move back and forth through the line?

Hi,


Once you're on a line and want to read character by character, hit the letter T. This toggles between arrows reading words or characters. If you want to hear each punctuation mark as you arrow over it in review mode, hit the letter A.


Hope this helps,


Jayson

  Does anyone remember these?  I can get into review move and move up and down a line, but not sure how to read the line or spell a word.  I haven't messed with this stuff for 30 years or so I guess.  Fun playing with the 2 e though.  As soon as I get things talking to each other, I'll make some disk images.

  Hi,,


  There was a version or two of the Echo speech synthesizer card which included a Mockingboard-compatible music synthesizer, though I don't remember which ones did.

    Hi listers:



    In my a0pple days, all I had was the 2e, the Echo and one 5-1/4 disk drive.



    I know some used a slotbuster or doubletalk, but, I’m hearing about a peripheral called the mockingboard.



    Did that have speech capability and was it ever used by blind folks for access?



    Thanks!
