-- i worked on DECtalk for a couple of companies, but as an<BR>employee I
never owned any code. DECtalk was sold from company to<BR>company. employees
of companies are bound by work agreements to NOT<BR>keep any
code.<BR><BR>recently Enable Rehab, my own company, bought the right to
distribute<BR>one version of DECtalk, 4.6.4, from the current DECtalk owner,
Fonix.<BR>my goal (Enable's goal) is to make a SAPI version of DECtalk
available<BR>to persons who need it. i'll let users know the size of files
needed<BR>and any other details once i'm sure the code works on my own
laptop.<BR>that's the stage we're at now.<BR><BR>pls do keep questions coming
as i want to know what users need to<BR>know, like file size - great question!
i'll do my best to find answers<BR>to any questions. others on this email
listserv may know answers that<BR>i don't. just keep asking!<BR><BR><BR>On
