I take it you're using the internal Echo card with Textalker, which is rather
large and slow.  I suggest you check out the Doubletalk PC from RC systems.
It's an internal card with speech quality about as good as a Dectalk and all
the translation is done by an on-board processor (you just output characters
to a hardware I/O port, and the board does the rest).  For all this, you pay a
whopping $279.
