<DIV>See, I'm trying to get on the Ellen Show because I believe I have an idea
to make Dectalk really hot on a worldwide level. If the Enable Rehab stuff
sings, I can promote it if I get on the show. Sorry, but if it can't sing,
I won't ruin the reputation of MIT or Dennis Klatt by promoting it, I just
won't! But if it sings, it changes everything because it goes with what
Dennis wanted. He made it able to sing so people like me could be a
singer. I'm the most known, but a youtube search will bring up other
disabled singers, and all of them have Dennis Klatt to thank.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If I get on the Ellen show, I want to pitch an idea I have for a new
animation movie that uses actual speech engines for the voices. The point
of the movie is, every voice counts. For a disabled person who can only
talk or sing using synthetic voices, a movie like this could be life
changing. And people at MIT need to be rewarded for their fine work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was almost aborted at birth. I had music in me that only came out
when I had Dectalk, the only speech engine that could sing. I'm not
alone. I wanted a singing SAPI, not for myself, but for the next
generation. I felt like I owe it to Dennis and still feel that way.
I would like my movie idea to get everyone messing around with Dectalk, not just
the blind or disabled. Because music units. And I want to help that
non-speaking kid fit in. If I can just get on the Ellen Show, I think I
can ignite a spark. If I do, and if this takes off, you can bet other
speech engines will be made to sing. That's how you thank MIT, that's how
you remember Dennis Klatt, and that's how you move forward.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So again, this seriously sings?</DIV>

they're saying the Speak window included with the product sings, <BR>not the

Don't <BR>care for 4.61 so unless they start using a different version, I
probably <BR>won't be buying.<BR>Jayson<BR><BR>----- Original Message -----
