Thank you Dave. I'll be getting an adapter this weekend I hope. This is
wonderful news.

Greg,
Don't need one. Once you have it connected to USB via the adapter, it can be
selected using JAWS. Go to JAWS/Utilities/Synthesizer and Braille Manager.

Dave,
Where do I get the software driver for the Dectalk Express or will the
original software still work with Windows 7? I loved my Dectalk on my xp
desktop and thought it was useless. I can get a serial to USB connector!

There are USB-to-Serial dongles that are pretty reasonable in price. Then
JAWS will recognize the hardware using a serial port number. I have my
Dectalk Express set up that way.

Hi All,
I was cleaning out my office the other day (they are giving us new
carpet at work), and I found an old hardware DecTalk with a serial
connector. Now aside from the connector issue, is the hardware DecTalk
even supported anymore by Jaws? If so, is there a converter that will
allow me to connect it to my laptop?
In my opinion, the hardware DecTalk was the best speech ever so I am
really hoping it is still a viable option.
Thanks for any info.
Kimber
