providing telecommunications services and<BR>> value-added

DECtalk(TM) text-to-speech (TTS) technology. This new
version<BR>> re-releases the "classic" DECtalk TTS voices many
DECtalk users have<BR>> relied upon for years, offers a number
of new features and supports<BR>> additional operating
systems.<BR>><BR>> Fonix DECtalk 4.6.3 is based on DECtalk
technology that has been<BR>> developed and refined over the
past 20 years. Fonix DECtalk is the<BR>> smallest footprint,
full-featured, multi-language TTS in the industry.<BR>> Version
4.6.3 supports the widest array of hardware platforms and<BR>>
operating systems on the market and offers nine voices and
seven<BR>> languages.<BR>> Fonix DECtalk

UIQ 2.0 and 2.1<BR>> -- Linux V2.65 kernel<BR>>

supported, Fonix can<BR>> better meet the needs of our

Fonix DECtalk 4.6.3 adds Italian to the list of available
languages<BR>> (U.S. and U.K. English, Castilian and Latin
American Spanish, French<BR>> and German) and also improves the
naturalness and intelligibility of<BR>> German and Spanish.
DECtalk 4.6.3 offers nine TTS voices as well as<BR>> the nine
classic voices for each language (18 total voices for each<BR>>
language).<BR>> "Fonix realizes that many users, particularly
in the assistive market,<BR>> rely upon the familiar DECtalk
TTS voices that they have become<BR>> accustomed to over the
years," said Nawrocki. "Fonix DECtalk 4.6.3<BR>> allows
developers to provide user access to the new, improved<BR>>
synthesis TTS voices as well as the nine classic DECtalk voices
circa<BR>> 1993, including 'Perfect Paul.' This feature makes
