[DECtalk] Dectalk 4.6.1 SAPI from Enable Rehab

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Once a company no longer exists my point is yes the license might 
say something but if no money is being collected for this software and 
as the ammount of blind users who wish to use this product is low I 
don't see any major problems with us using this product.  Really Fonix 
should release a sapi dectalk synthisizer as if this was done then we 
could buy this product from a company that is a legal source for the 
product and use it even allowing screen readers to include dectalk in 
their products as is already done with window eyes.  Sapi has it limits 
and really until we get something that is better then sapi 4 and 5 I 
think that using these add-ins for the screen readers is our best option 
as I find that you get more control over the synthisizer such as more 
rate and pitch settings.  Everyone has their own views and I do like 
sapi voices but they have their limits to what settings can be set for 
them and usually they are not of the best control that a screen reader 
can use with them.  Nick Gawronski
