Not that I've ever heard. There were requests on the original feature lists
for the digital voice recorder back at the beginning of the K3. The voice recorder was available very early. Usually the user wants to use his own voice for synthesized speech, a rather complex task usually done by logging software running on a PC. This would be a PC that has the software for forming the letter, number and special message files needed for automatic contest speech in a contest with serial numbers, etc. The logging program then assembles those files into sequential speech using directory and file names specified by the program via a sound card. These tasks require developed software, which will have been developed for the two common hosts and operating systems. That would make the request suspiciously like inserting a mini PC into the K3. Interesting idea. Would worry about all the misc RF noise generated by a PC. And the heat. Still interesting ignoring all the practical issues to solve. If transportability was in mind and I had to have it tomorrow, I'd get a Surface Pro 3, load all the requisite software and files, and pack it in the same case as the K3. 73, Guy K2AV On Friday, November 13, 2015, Scott Gillen ZL1CHM <[hidden email]> wrote: > I'm wondering if Elecraft produces or has considered producing a speech > synthesiser board for any of there radios? > > 73 > Scott > ZL1CHM / N0HO > Auckland New Zealand > > Sent from my iPhone > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] <javascript:;> > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [hidden email] <javascript:;> > -- Sent via Gmail Mobile on my iPhone ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Voice synthesizer no, but for the visually impaired there is a program
on http://www.elecraft.com/k2_remote.htm#voice called K3 Voice (also K2 vioce and some other stuff) that does read the controls as they are pressed for visually impaired persons. If that's what you need Scott, then go to that URL and look for the K3 Voice program.

Not exactly true.
Look here for something that works with the K3 and KX3. (No, I don't have one, the morse output on the KX3 is mostly enough.) http://www.hampod.com -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: 814-860-3194 Mobile: 814-431-0962 Email: [hidden email] > On Nov 14, 2015, at 9:55 AM, Jim Sheldon <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Voice synthesizer no, but for the visually impaired there is a program on http://www.elecraft.com/k2_remote.htm#voice called K3 Voice (also K2 vioce and some other stuff) that does read the controls as they are pressed for visually impaired persons.

Thanks Guy.
I'm looking mor for a unit that will speak the radio frequency, mode, menus ect. This would be quite a help to blind operators. These tasks don't require a computer. Kenwood achieve it with a small plugin board. 73 Scott ZL1CHM / N0HO Auckland New Zealand Sent from my iPhone On 15/11/2015, at 3:05 AM, Guy Olinger K2AV <[hidden email]> wrote: > Not that I've ever heard.

If you use a computer to control your rig, most of them can speak
mode/freq..etc.. If you don't use a PC look around for some RASPBERRYPI software to speak the mode/freq..etc. Something like this has probably been done.

Hi Scott,
I'm a novice K3s owner here, having taken delivery of the rig around 3 weeks ago. I also purchased the Hampod, refered to in an earlier post. Again I've only been using the hampod for a matter of days, but first impressions are it's an amazing peice of kit, providing spoken access to vertually all of the functions of the K3s. The Hampod is a stand alone unit which connects to the serial port on the rig. More info can be found at www.hampod.com Like I said, I'm only beginning to become acquainted with both the K3s and hampod, so can't really offer much more information. However if You're thinking of a k3s or kx3, I reckon the hampod is certainly worth investagation. Btw, the JJ radio software I think provides some degree of speech access to Elecraft equipment, but of course this requires connection to a PC. Hope this is of some help.
