<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>1. No speak Window.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>2. It would only have the Paul
voice.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>3. It won't sing.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>4. It probably won't dial but I'm just
guessing.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>5. I'm betting the tones won't
work.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I was the guy that was going to be doing the
dictionary. I will not touch or promote this SAPI because I think this is
totally degrading to Dennis Klatt and everything he worked for. I am well
known for my work with Dectalk. Please, let it be known that I do not
support this release, nor do I wish to be associated with this SAPI in any
way. This in my opinion is garbage and will be a very big disappointment
to those who know and love Dectalk and expect all the features that Dectalk once
had.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I never met Dennis, but I love and respect his
work. I hope others have the same respect. Lets all remember what
once was great. <BR></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I will support any efforts to bring back the Dectalk
and all it's features that we all know and love and want in a SAPI. But
this is not that SAPI.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Here's the latest news update about SAPI Dectalk's release. Two things<BR>were
decided by the Dectalk SAPI powers that be. <BR><BR>1. No speak window
will be included.<BR>2. There is only one voice, Paul.<BR><BR>Also, it is my
understanding that SAPI Dectalk now costs $19.95.<BR>Blake<BR>-----Original
