[DECtalk] reading edge with dectalk 1992

[Mike]

Yeah unfortunately there was no training that I remember anyway. I was only
like  10 years old at the time and what I was using it for, I'm sure, was
not great quality print to begin with, mostly elementary school worksheets
and paperbacks. I do remember having more success with the hand scanner
that it came with though.

I am glad yours still works. I believe mine was given  back when I got a
computer with a separate scanner later. I do still have the same DecTalk
Express that I got at that time and that still works perfectly
