Talkers are the agents which add control keys to the eigenharp keyboard, and when these keys are pressed the talker will 'say' a belcanto phrase. Any phrase that you can type in using the eigencommander or with the language keys can be added to a talker.
One talker agent can contain several control keys, you don't need a new talker for every new key.

Each key has a dedicated 'activate' port that is understood by clients like Stage to trigger the activation of the key as if it was physically pressed on the keyboard.
