For a short history of the DECTalk by Edward Bruckert, see [http://www.mindspring.com/~ssshp/ssshp_cd/ss_dec1.htm here].

Briefly, "DECtalk is a text-to-speech converter that provides any computer with a human-sounding voice. You can enter
the text from a host computer or a terminal keyboard connected to the unit. You can hear the resulting speech through the built-in speaker, a headset, external speakers with an amplifier, or a telephone. You can also display the spoken output on a monitor screen or print it in hardcopy form." DECtalk model DTC01

This unit is being utilized for the RobotBrain and BabblingHead project and is owned and operated by EricLundquist
