I don't work with Fonix any more so I can't really say. My personal
opinion is just ask. I know a sapi5 is possible, I just don't know if they ever
did one.
BUT, let me tell you what my plans are. I'm finally on facebook where
more people are getting to know me and my music. At the end of September I'm
releasing my very first holiday CD. I'm hoping it does well. I have 2
Churches that are letting me sell it, a CEO might buy some for his company,
and I'm hoping for a big sale. You can't count on anything, but I'm hoping.
Blake Roberts and I are giving this our best shot.
One of the things I want to get is the Dectalk Kit, and I believe it sells
for $1000.00. That kit will let me create a Dectalk sapi 5 version. I
think I can get the 4.0 kit version but I'm not sure. I want the oldest
version I can get because the new versions suck!
Dectalk is going away because of lake of interest. But because of my
music, there will always be disabled people who want to get into singing. Plus
if device companies ever want Dectalk, I'll be able to pay the royalties
through this Dectalk kit and sell the sapi 5 that I create with the kit.
If my September release doesn't generate enough orders, I'm hoping it will
generate a new generation of interest because I'm planning on another CD
release next March.
My dilemma is, I need a new van because my van is on it's last legs. So
sadly the van needs to have priority. But I'm hoping to book a concert, and
if I can do that, I should be fine. I have 750 friends on facebook and
growing, so I'm hoping for some interest.
So Dectalk is not gone yet.

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.
