Hi, I don't think I ever mentioned this on the listserv because I didn't  
know I could.  As some of you know, I have a website, and for the longest  
time almost everything was free with hopes for donations.  Well, people  were 
getting free files but never donating.  So sadly I made some  changes.  I 
only say sadly because kids who can't talk can only sing by  using Dectalk, so 
I badly wanted kids to have free access to any song they  wanted so they 
could sing just like any other child.  It got totally  abused, so I made some 
changes. 
 
I have one announcement that I'm still pinching myself over because I can't 
 believe I'm being allowed to do this without a fight.  When Blake and I  
were working for Enable Rehab, we were given a beta Dectalk SAPI that could  
sing.  Well, I decided to release it for free because I was tired of Corine  
publicly saying she didn't have the source code to make it sing.   
Internally, she alone decided to remove the singing feature and tell that  lie.  
Corine got wind that I was releasing the beta Dectalk SAPI, and she  relayed a 
message to me saying she didn't care and wished me well.  It  slightly takes 
the fun out of releasing it, but ok.
 
I'm not charging for the SAPI because the singing part is unstable, plus I  
want it free anyway.  So, you get the SAPI, the Speak Window, a new blind  
friendly Speak Window, dictionary tools, instructions that Blake Roberts 
wrote,  and help support.  So, you can get the beta from me for free with  
instructions and support, or you can pay $24.95 to Enable Rehab and get no  
instructions or support.  And remember, if you buy "DECTALK READER 1" from  
Enable Rehab, you don't get what you pay for, you get Dectalk 4.61.  
 
Anyway, my songs are all $1.50.  I've been sick for a month so I  haven't 
been doing new songs for a while.  I'm still recovering, but by mid  August 
I'm hoping to be doing songs again.  I plan on doing top 40  songs.
 
So I hope you all check out my store and share it with others.
