For few years after Dennis his death in 1990, the Dctalk group was an official nonprofit group within Digital Equipment Corporation. As the rest of digital became nonprofit later, we realized we had to make a profit to survive. Ultimately Digital Equipment Corporation began to fall apart and we were sold along with the rights to the software. There was a progression of companies including Smart modular technology and Frce Cmputers. <br>

We are NOT Fonix, tho both of us worked for Fonix on DECtalk at one<br>time years ago. Snoopi and I have known each other for many years<br>after being introduced at an AAC conference many years ago.<br><br>We think we have the SAPI issue solved, by the way. More info to follow shortly.<br>
