Re: Cricket?

	If you have an Echo II for your IIe or IIgs, then you already have the
software that you need.  "Cricket" is just the IIc's version name for the Echo
II.  I believe that eventually they discontinued calling it "Cricket" to stop
the confusion. 
	BTW, they still make the "Cricket".

The Cricket is a sound peripheral for the //c and //e. It has a fixed
vocabulary natural female voice, an unlimited vocabulary robotic
text-to-speech voice, and an unlimited vocabulary "phonemic" speech
voice. It has a clock, too.  Of course, you need the accompanying
software to make it all work.
