I'm looking for information about voice synthesizers.
There are currently 3 cheapies on the market for the
80C.."The Voice" from Speech Systems.."Real Talker"
from Computerware and "Voice Pak" from Spectrum Projects.

All are in the $60-80 range and use the same Votrax chip.
My questions concern compatibility.  The "Voice" ads sez
it will work with "Voice Pak" programs, mostly.
It also will work with a simple "Y" cable allowing both
disk and cartridge use simultaneously.  "Voice Pak"
apparently requires the Radio Shack multi-pak interface to
work with disk.

Question:  has anyone used any of the above synthesizers?
If so, how do they work?  Any problems or bright spots?
