[DECtalk] DECTalk 5.0?

[Alex H.]

Hi Snoopi,

Thanks for the info on Dectalk 5.0. I guess I really don't need it, I
got four other demos plus FonixTalk. Do you think I'd have any luck
contacting Fonix and requesting the demos?

@johnnybrl, I believe that FonixTalk works with the SAPI5 engine but
it needs to be purchased. It is mentioned in the SDK and FonixTalk
pages on their site though. I wish DecTalk had a SAPI version, and
direct access to the speech parameters.
