What you need depends on what Artic board you have.  If you have a
SynPhonix 200 or 210 board, running sonix and tts or the sonixtts
combination, then a variety of speech programs will work with your
board, including PROVOX, the program I distribute and sell.  Most
speech programs have a sonix dirver.  If you have a 215 board,
which is locked to Articvis9ion or Businessvision, then you will
need to buy a copy of sonix-2 from Artic.  It costs fifty dollars
and provides the standard sonix/tts interface for your board.  You
will have to provide them with your board's serial number, as
sonix-2 is locked to your board as AV or BV is.  I use sonix-2
every day with provox and have had no problems in a year and a
half.  Once you have sonix-2 you can run any screen review program
that works with the standard artic 200 9r 210 board.  David Amdrews
