Chris,
     I don't totally disagree with you, and as a matter of fact, was
glad when I got my Soundingboard for the computer I use the most and
increased the response time significantly, but have you ever run
Vocal-Eyes or Flipper with the Dec?
     Seriously, both of them make the response time of the Dectalk much
better than what I've seen in other speech programs, and although not
instantaneous, the shut up key works fast enough when them on the Dec to
make it bearable, at least by my standards.
     There is no doubt about it, if you're going to do a lot of key
pounding, the Dec does have its drawbacks, but my ear still tells me
it's the best thing out there if you're doing a lot of reading.
                                                        Willie
