[DECtalk] something i heard

[Dectalk at aol.com]

Well, Dave and I have about completed our test.   The Dectalk 4.40 Speak 
Window will not install to the upgraded Windows 7.   So, it looks like if 
there is no SAPI, there might not be  Dectalk.
 
If Dectalk SAPI won't sing, I see no use for it  because if it can't sing, 
you can't use voice gestures, insert pauses,  phonetically tell it how to 
say words and so on.  So, block access to the  phonetics and you end every 
reason to have Dectalk in my  opinion.

yes, but  i haven't heard of anyone being interested as many have found
ways to get a  DECtalk SAPI from friends. i'll watch the responses to
see if anyone still  needs DECtalk SAPI and if so, i'll notify this
list when we have tested all  the voices and resolved whatever issues
we find. do you know why it would  be useful for Enable to make a SAPI
DECtalk available? if there's no reason  to, we'll just stop working on
it as it would be a big waste of time and  money to continue.
