- There are presently three DECtalk devices (TDTC1, DTC03, and the
- PC ISA DTC07), and two DECvoice devices (`tip-and-ring' DTC04
- and the T1-based DTC05; both of which contain the DECtalk speech
- synthesizer) available.
- There are presently three DECtalk devices -- The DTC1, DTC03, and
- the PC ISA-bus DTC07) available. Two DECvoice devices -- the tip-
- and-ring-based standard telephone line DTC04 and the T1-based DTC05.
- Both DECvoice devices contain the DECtalk speech synthesizer, in
- addition to voice synthesis, standard speaker independent isolated
- word voice recognition, user-programmable isolated word recognition,
- and optional continous word speaker independent voice recognition)
- available.
-
- The PC ISA-based DTC07 has a US list price of $1195. (This may
- not be the most up-to-date price on the DTC07.)
-
- The list of escape sequences used for operating the DECtalk device
- is rather long for a network posting. If you are using OpenVMS
- (nee VMS), the OpenVMS DTK Run-Time Library can handle the escape
- sequence interface for you. If for whatever reason you are using
- the escape sequence interface, you will want to obtain a copy of
- the DECtalk programming manual:
-
- DECtalk DTC01 (VT240 box) Documentation Part Numbers:
- EY-6727E-TK DECtalk Application Development Guide (TK50)
- EY-6727E-MT ibid (magtape)
- EK-DTC01-OM-003 DECtalk Owners Manual
- EK-DTC01-RM-003 DECtalk Program Reference Manual
- EK-DTC01-IN-002 DECtalk Installation Guide

- There is also a package of DECtalk routines -- mostly written in
- C, if I remember correctly -- available from DECUS.
