Brian Mooredoing an evaluation of the orcam read for including in a funding program. for the first time, I am suggesting that a device not be funded. very much not worth the price imho. Also, documentation is some of the worst I have seen.
Martin from Toronto@bmoore123 Oh, glad I'm not reviewing that one. Shit ADP is behind the times. Next, they'll have you reviewing the Optocon. Lol!
@mcourcel and there is still a synthesizer category and the evaluation form still asks about external speech synthesizers as an option for this equipment. wonder if you can buy one at all. maybe a tripple talk usb?
@bmoore123 Nope. Checked for DoubleTalk USB a few days ago. I was feeling nostalgic. Now the company only sells the chips. So I guess you could still build one.
@mcourcel I still have one but haven't used it in years. not sure any screen reader supports it now.
@bmoore123 I have an old bookport that uses the doubletalk speech. It's fun to play around with it sometimes.
@mcourcel yep, have one of those too. still like it although voice dream has better voices and actually doesn't need that weird software to load books onto it
