Oh, the error question is easy!  Any words  starting with "Y", with the 
exception of "YU", needs to have "YX'.  That  will stop the errors.  If not, 
let me know.

Hi DECtalkers -
I'll ask Ed Bruckert, lead engineer of the DECtalk project  for DEC, and 
then for all the various owners up to and including Fonix until  Ed retired 
(now legally blind) a couple of years ago, and a dear friend (and  former 
GREAT boss). He'll remember.
 
ED - can you enlighten us all?
 
thanks to all for your interest - corine bickley (former  student of Dennis 
Klatt, and DECtalk fan)

Hi all,

This is probably too much to ask, but is  there a revision history of the
various software and firmware releases?  I've seen 4.3, 4.4, 4.6X, 5.0 and
4.2CD.  It would be nice to  know what actually changed in the various
versions.  Obviously, 4.6X  sounds different than 4.2CD, but what else
changed?  The other  reason why it would be nice to know is because some
songs that obviously  work with my hardware DEC Express running 4.2CD give
errors on 4.3 or  4.4.  I've looked at the various manuals and text files in
the  archive but haven't found anything.  Thanks all for any help.

In  response to a recent thread here, I usually read at about 400-430 WPM  
for
email and such.  For books, I'm not sure what it is but it's a  lot  slower.
