Ah nothing sounds like DECTalk like DECTalk 😉 That is a good idea. I am not versed in
Linux development so I have no idea what is involved with using that. I would assume it
would need at least one more component to be developed to accpt the serial port input,
respond to the control characters and pass the input to that DECTalk code.

And now for my plea for help. If there are any
Linux/Pie developers that would like to take on this project for the benefit of all blind
vintage computing enthusiasts, I would love to hear from you. I honestly don’t know what
fair compensation would be but I am sure some compensation could be involved. Even if the
fine folks here don’t want to get personally involved I would love to hear opinions on the
feasibility of this project as well as suggestions.
What about simply using the DECtalk source code itself?
