DECTALK 4.0 OR EARLIER<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Does anyone have an old copy of the Dectalk speak
window? I have version 4.40 but wish I had an earlier version. I
work for Fonix and Gallaudet University. When Dectalk was bought from
Dec, the older versions simply disappeared. I'm the only one that has
version 4.40. Mine is</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Bug free and I love it. But I know version 3.0
was closer yet to the hardware version. We all want to get our hands on
an older version.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>Also, can anyone tell me how to create a user
dictionary for the Dectalk speak window? I'm releasing a CD on March
18th with over 1000 songs files for Dectalk. I badly want to add some
pronunciations to the dictionary before the release. Can anyone tell me
how to do this?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
