tlkbal_1.zip Talking balance program for OHAUS balances
The Talking Balance 1 Program, TLKBAL1E, was written to enable
students, scientists, and engineers with visual disabilities to
read laboratory balances independently using synthetic speech
and large text, and to record their balance readings in an
electronic notebook. The program runs under MS-DOS on an
ordinary IBM- compatible PC, and reads balances through a serial
port. It is capable of using the Creative Labs Sound Blaster
sound card to generate synthetic speech, because the Sound
Blaster is the most economical way to equip a computer with
speech output. However, the program also can be used with
several commercial speech synthesizers.
The program was designed to work with the popular OHAUS CT
series and TP series of electronic balances. It has been tested
thoroughly with the OHAUS CT200 centigram balance and the OHAUS
TP200 milligram balance, and it will probably read other OHAUS
models as well. OHAUS CT200 centigram balance and the OHAUS
TP200 milligram balance, and it will probably read other OHAUS
models as well.
Special requirements: OHAUS balance equipped with OHAUS bi-directional
RS-232 port and OHAUS serial cable.
Changes: Extraneous files removed. Installation instructions updated.
