Hi there; There are several but they don;t just fit any laptop on the market
since there doesn't seem to be any statdardization for the slot design.
there is the Artic speech synthesizer from Artic Technologies in Michigan.
there is the Accent Speech synthesizer from the Aicom corp. in Calif, and the
Sounding Board LT from GW Micro in indiana.
All of these synthesizers fit the Toshiba line of laptops
there is also the ASP board from Automated functions in Arlington VA, I forgot
about that one.
All of these synthesizers need speech software to make them useable and any of
these vendors can supply that or direct you.
Hope this helps.
Don
