I was also thinking that dectalk access32 for kurzweil wouldn't sing, but I was dead wrong.  I think that when dectalk is installed, sapi4 apps cannot access it without crashing, but when another application such as kurzweil's spchtest.exe accesses dectalk, it uses the actual dectalk external API, and as a result no text is being stripped.
