I was once asked what to call this version and I finally came up with
something but I know it will never happen. I'm calling this SAPI version 86.
I'm saying that because if someone is thrown out of a bar, it's called
being 86ed. So, I want to 86 this version of the planet, so I'm unofficially
calling this version 86.

I for one will not buy this. if it doesnt have ability to sing and the
inline commands, it's not dectalk.
If it clips at the defaults for other voices, it is broken code.
If onevoice is included because the rest are too clippy and crappy
sounding, it isn't worth a cent to me. Dectalk is all about singing
and customization. with this horrible ghost of horro, it's just a
locked down slurring mess. Btw, there's no way this is 4.3, maybe 5.0
although I've never heard it, but far from anything classic dectalk.
Heck, they got their versions so messed up they probably are using
fonix talk or something!!
