[DECtalk] dectalk for XP

[Jahmal Lovato]

Hi, will there be dectalk for vista and 7?
If not, I am not upgrading.
I just downloaded the dectalk 4.3.
Where do you recommend extracting it, and how do you run the program?
Is there a dot exe file, or do I go to run and type something?
It was kind of different with windows me
