[DECtalk] Software DECtalk availability (was Re: using dectalk with orca in ubuntu)

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi there,
May I ask a question about this?
As I understand it, the dectalk USB is a stand alone unit, like the 
dectalk express.
Would this not men then that instead of compiling a dectalk voice, the 
unit has one, you would need a driver for whatever screen reading program 
involved  that could use a USB port?
A program equal to giving flexibility to the dectalk for navigation and the 
like?
