> . To run SB Talker from the command line on Windows 7, you'll want to

> (i.e. "C:\Users\Username\My Documents\SB Talker" or C:\SBTalker). Or,
> you can copy SB Talker to C:\SBTalker and put that directory in your path.
>
> Once you're in the SBTalker directory, run SBTalk.bat to load the
> driver. That's SBTalk.bat, not SBTalker.exe. (If you run
> SBTalker.exe, you'll get an error message that says the driver cannot
> be loaded.)
>
> To test SBTalker, type the following at the command line and press enter:
>
> Read Hello world, this is a test.
>
> If you want to do further playing around with the Read program, type
> read and press enter. Here you can type a line you'd like read back
> to you and press enter. When you're done in the Read program, press
> Control-C to get back to the command line.
>
> You can also run the sbaitso2 program and chat with Dr. Sbaitso.
>
> When you're done playing with SBTalker, you can unload the SBTalker
> driver by typing remove. (This doesn't delete the driver file, it
> just unloads it from resident memory.)
>
> Hope all this helps. When I get time, I'll put together a little
> bundle package of SBTalker with TinyTalk.
