I just received my software upgrade for my Sound Blaster board from
Creative Labs which now supports text-to-speach on its voice channel.
There is an optional programer's toolkit for either basic or C; both 
of which I Know nothing about. The address follows:

	Creative Labs
	131 South Maple Avenue #6
	South San Francisco CA 94080

	(408)378-3689

The Sound Blaster sells for about $159 mail order. This could be a very
inexpensive alternative if it meets your needs.
