I have the speech thing! It's been a long time since I fired up that baby.
I used
for speech synthesis and voice recognization eons ago. This was before the
Sound
Blaster for PCs. Let me look around and see if I still have the software...

where to get
software for it??

IIRC, the Speech Thing was what it sounds like, a speech synthasizer for
the IBM PC. Basically, it plugged into the parallel port. The other end
of the wire was probably a speaker (amplified, most likely).
I seem to recall Covox being very big into speech recognizition and
synthesis many years back.
