well, nobody has the source code for vocal eyes anymore so that dream just will never come true. No source code for vocalize. Somebody would have to rewrite the whole thing from scratch and I doubt that will ever happen.

Since 2005 I have a DECTALK U S B from what was Axsol Solutions, however, they only have windows drivers. Well, I am only in Linux since 2006, running Speakup with their drivers, which have issues, where suddenly the volume, rate, and pitch drop. Probably even more than wanting a Linux U S B driver for this unit or Speakup, I really want to run Vocal-Eyes in Linux with the sound of 4.1C. Thing is, because this is an external unit, none of the dictionary type files are stored locally. You see, Vocal-Eyes had all kinds of dictionaries which are not available in Speakup. Since I am `certainly not a programmer, I have no idea how challenging any or all of these dreams would be? Certainly, we can discuss any of these off-list, unless others would benefit? Thanks so much in advance
