That's the DTC03 and it's an acceptable substitute for those of us who
can't find a DTC01 for under $300.  I've wanted an 01 for years and
passed up a number of chances as their value went higher and higher.

For those who want to play with the DECtalk engine, there is the
Windows software implementation which, last I tried, still runs in
modern Windows versions.  The software is "out there" and probably
easy to find.  When I last tried it is open to some doubt - might need
to run it in a VM these days :)

There is also the PC ISA card DECtalk, whose DTCxx number I forget
(DTC07 maybe?)  I have one "somewhere" but have never had the software
for it.
