[DECtalk] DECtalk on old phone system

[Blake Roberts]

Don,

I am in fact interested in how Dectalk was used in addition to firmware 
sound. I find it fascinating how Dectalk can be useful in so many 
situations. Example: I remember that years ago a member of this list 
helped make Dectalk speak a choice-based game on the TellMe phone 
system. This was back in the day when the service offered extensions. I 
would call TellMe and enter the extension number just so I could 
hear/use Dectalk.


Also, for a brief period Dectalk was used on the National Federation Of 
the Blind's NewsLine service if I recall correctly. This was back before 
eloquence was utilized instead.
