Speak is public domain and always has been. It was originally sent out in source code as an example of how to interface with the synthesizer. So have no fears it is not licensed.<br><br>

<div><strong>I'm throwing this question out because I'm totally confused. The Dectalk 4.40 speak window that comes with the Dic.en file and everything so it will talk. 6 years ago I was told it was public domain. I think a lot of people pass it out, I include it in my software, I give it out for free, I've seen it available for download on Dectalk sites, and it was my understanding that speak window versions of Dectalk were public domain.</strong></div>

<div><strong>I was just told today that it's not public domain, Fonix owns those speak windows, yet in the same breathe you can't buy a license to sell it. What? I'm totally confused.</strong></div>

<div><strong>Is the speak window Dectalk public Domain? I had mine since the early 90's and I thought it was public domain. Mine was free and I even still have the original demo it came with. It never expires, reads any size files, and I never even knew you could buy it, I thought it was free.</strong></div>
