Hi Thomas, Why did Screen Readers start relying so heavily on Software Synths?

I guess that does make you a dinosaur. Lol! Seriously though I often miss my Dectalk Express, and am a bit dismayed screen readers are so absolutely focused on software synths myself. There are certainly advantages to using a hardware synth Such as sound editing, sound recording, etc alone where you don't want Eloquence and so on being recorded in the background. Once upon a time before Speakup started using software synths like Espeak you could boot Linux and have all the startup prompts and shutdown prompts read for you. With a software synth the OS has to be fully loaded before you can get speech output. Kind of a step backwards in my opinion.
