A general comment : I use Kurzweil VoicePlus - which is 85+VAT - with Talk
Back - which is 39+VAT - in Windows 95.
The only inconvenience - using a regular sound card - is that I have to turn
the Kurzweil mic on/off by key/mouse. I guess it would be easy to write a VB
or Word macro to get round this. I think there's a note in TECHNICAL SUPPORT
on our www.
Full duplex (sound-in sound-out) are not as they should be. Someone said the
Gravis is OK. Their phone number is on our www. I've not tested it so cannot
comment on mic on/off BY VOICE.
There are free Limited Editions of VoicePad and Talk Back (UK English) on
our www.
