Please log in for more thread options question. If it isn't, would you please advise me of a more appropriate newsgroup. Anyway, my question is: What is the simplest (and least expensive) way to feed an audio signal into a telephone line? My specific application is as follows: My speech is next to impossible to understand due to cerebral palsy. Therefore, I often use a speech synthesizer to communicate with people, including people over the phone. Currently, to "speak" over the phone, I depend on the microphone in a conference phone to pick-up the sound waves coming from the speaker in my speech synthesizer. While this configuration works, the quality of the sound that gets transmitted over the phone line is less than satisfactory. This is why I am seeking a direct way to input an audio signal into a phone line. When making suggestions on how to accomplish what I want, please keep in mind that I don't use a Windows computer with a sound card. I still use a DOS computer, mostly because I can't/don't like using a mouse. I have a question about one possible solution to my problem: My DOS computer has an internal modem that has an on-board speaker, which I can use to hear the audio output from the phone line very clearly. Is there an internal modem that has some sort of input jacks? I look forward to your answers and suggestions. Bill Geluso -- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From a technical perspective, what it sounds like you want to do is actually to inject your speech synthesizer's output into a phone call. That means injecting the synth output into the phone you are using, replacing the signal that would normally come from the mic in the phone handset or in your speaker phone. This perhaps a better way to phrase your question and may get you better answers from people. Am not sure about this being the correct news group, though. So to accomplish what you want to do, I suggest that there would seem to be two ways to go at it. One: you start with a telephone that allows a headset to be plugged in. The you wire the synth voice output to the microphone wires of that headset. There will be likely some impedance issues to look at and how to control the volume. And you need to be careful of not damaging your synth unit. Your speaker phone system may support plug in additional components like a second microphone. Two: place a small speaker wired from the voice syth directly over the phone's normal voice input (read what one talks into). Basically you are trying to replace the phone's input signal from the handset with your synth's out put. It would be my guess that there are voice synth devices that have this interface included with them. Hope this helps some. Let us know how this goes. ClamRake | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I think what you need is a "Telephone patch" which can be a pro model
like this: http://www.jkaudio.com/inline-patch.htm or a homebuilt impedance matcher to match the out put of the speen synth equipment to the 600 ohm phone line. The Ramsey unit is ony $70 but needs to be built. More sites: http://www.bradleybroadcast.com/2001/telephone.htm http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=PPM3C Also, check with local HAM radio operators in your area. They may have just what you need lying about somewhere. Bill Geluso wrote: > I don't know if this is the proper newsgroup in which to post this

Please log in for more thread options Hi,
I'll try to answer your questions below. At the bottom of this post, after my signature lines, I will list various assistive technology "Tech ACT Projects" where you may find additional information. >I don't know if this is the proper newsgroup in which to post this
> question. If it isn't, would you please advise me of a more > appropriate newsgroup. This newsgroup is an entirely appropriate place for your query. There are, of course, newsgroups dedicated to CP and to AT where you might find more help. But many people here have an interest in assistive technology. At least one is wheelchair bound as well. > Anyway, my question is: What is the simplest (and least
> expensive) way to feed an audio signal into a telephone > line? You can use a simple audio transformer and volume control, connected to the microphone input of the telephone. There are keyboard - to - speach devices available with an interface for connection to a phone line. More on that later. Toshiba has developed a product which makes it possible for people with CP to use a mouse. A reflective, silver dot is affixed to one's glasses. An IR light is mounted to the top of the monitor. The user points the dot at the screen by looking at what he wants and then clicks a button. The PC reads it as a mouse click wherever the red dot is pointed. There is an article about this in Newsweek's online magazine. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/july1999/nf90707b.htm Perhaps this technology may enable you to utilize Windows. If so it will open a wider window for you. Hope so. On to your original questions: Most modems are designed to hang up if they don't hear carrier signal from a modem on the other end of the phone line. This can be overcome by placing a phone off hook on the same line but it doesn't solve the presenting problem -- making synthasized speach work with the phone. I'd be happy to help you locate an interface device if you like. I'm not interested in selling you anything but I'd be glad to make a few calls to companies that offer AT hardware. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>
