DecTalk Express dtc08

I cut rixon off in the beginning, but he says that he is holding a DecTalk Express dtc08. Originally it would not power on because of the dead battery.

Rixon salvaged this from a thrift store. Some weird stuff happened after the first two lines of the first song played, it started reading the characters as literal, instead of in a melody fashion.

The DecTalk has a serial port we were able to connect to through minicom with a 9600 baud rate.

Also, all opponents to CCCKC should fear linoleum knives.

  1. Hi! Nice work with the DTC08! Where did you find what commands to sent to it? I just bought one on eBay, but can’t find any documentation yet. And ideas?

  2. Hugh O,

    Sorry if nobody got around to responding t o you. Im hooking it back up now, for some asterisk gsm files. Once we connected, all we did was type to it and hit enter, it then began speaking!
