[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Wanted to let you and other Blinktalkers know that after a bit of
experimentation I have your Tiny Talk speech software working very
well with the Sonix 220 speech card from Artic Technology.  The
only limitation appears to be not being able to control speech
rate, pitch and tone.  All the window features and everythingelse
works great.

I was very impressed with the features you have in your program,
especially considering the fact that you are distributing it free
at this point.  I certainly could see recommending it to a person
as a speech software to use on a regular basis if they could not
afford the expense of most of the commercial speech packages.  I
used it very successfully with Dbase 3 Plus and Dbase 4.

The secret to using Tiny Talk with Sonix that worked here was to run
the following set of instructions in the batch file:
Sonix /nh
tts
porttalk /c2 /l3
ttalk

This combination works beautifully on Toshiba 1100+ and Toshiba
1200H.  I have not experimented with it on a Sonix 200 card yet,
but will try to take a shot at it this week and get back to you
with the result.

Keep up the good luck.  BTW, I have translated your documentation
file into a Braille file printable to a Braille printer from the
DOS command line.  If you would like a copy of the file to include
in your package let me know how to best get it to you.  The
documentation was 30 pages in Braille.  D. T.
