<DIV>Let me try to clarify something. The SAPI, and the DT Sample, are two
different programs within the same zip file on my site. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I personally can't test the SAPI because for some strange reason I can't
get any SAPI to work on my computer. So, I need to go by what Blake
Roberts tells me. According to Blake, the SAPI talks fine, but the singing
is unstable. I only made the beta SAPI available to prove that it could be
made to sing, but Corine had it disabled before the final release. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The DT Sample program is way cool! It has keyboard shortcuts for the
blind, multiple languages, it sings, and this program alone would be worth the
$24.95 at the Enable Rehab site. BUT, this cool program is deeply hidden,
it doesn't put an icon for it on the desktop, it has no instructions, and Enable
Rehab won't support this because it was meant as a free bonus. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe the DT Sample program uses the very same phonetics as 4.40
because I tested a few songs and it worked perfectly. I rate this thing 5
out of 5 stars, I 100 percent love this thing! I was told that Corine
didn't even know this was included in the zip file. To me, that's sad when
you don't even know what you are selling. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So being I was fired, I'm basically providing instructions and support and
not charging. I charge for songs, but not for the zip file. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Yes, I did set up the file associations, but I would like to
be able to just test by going over to the play button and clicking it. But if
this isn't possible, assuming that the new singing beta of sapi dectalk will
work, I can just use it, assuming that the phonemes are the same as in
4.40</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hmm, well I now have the 4.40 speak Window, oh and if
anyone ever needs it, I will post a tutorial about how to use it well with

has, worked on that?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I use Dectalk 4.40 Speak Window. Because I do CDs and concerts,
I really don't want to switch because I can make it sound really
human. On July 30th I might be singing with Peter Yarrow again, and
it would be too weird to be using 2 different versions of Dectalk.
And live on stage I need to be very fast, if I switch versions, how do I
know a command won't create feedback.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And let me make another point. If you look on youtube, you will
find that I'm not the only disabled entertainer. None of us would be
able to do what we do without the fancy features of Dectalk. I would
rather use Dectalk 4.40 because it is the closest I can get to Dennis
Klatt. I never met him, but his work gave my life meaning. I
have to believe that he would never want the singing feature removed from
Dectalk. I had too many kids light up when they learned that they
can sing with Dectalk. It's a gift from Dennis and I love to pass it
on.</DIV>

<DIV>So I'm wondering, do you use the older speak window of 4.3 or
whatever it is? Yeah I think its 4.3 which is the popular ones, but now
that this new one has come out, will you start using this one, or still
use the more popular one?<BR><BR>Sent from my iPod</DIV>

<DIV>Hi, I don't think I ever mentioned this on the listserv because I
didn't know I could. As some of you know, I have a website, and
for the longest time almost everything was free with hopes for
donations. Well, people were getting free files but never
donating. So sadly I made some changes. I only say sadly
because kids who can't talk can only sing by using Dectalk, so I badly
wanted kids to have free access to any song they wanted so they could
sing just like any other child. It got totally abused, so I made
some changes. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have one announcement that I'm still pinching myself over
because I can't believe I'm being allowed to do this without a
fight. When Blake and I were working for Enable Rehab, we were
given a beta Dectalk SAPI that could sing. Well, I decided to
release it for free because I was tired of Corine publicly saying she
didn't have the source code to make it sing. Internally, she
alone decided to remove the singing feature and tell that lie.
Corine got wind that I was releasing the beta Dectalk SAPI, and she
relayed a message to me saying she didn't care and wished me
well. It slightly takes the fun out of releasing it, but
ok.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm not charging for the SAPI because the singing part is
unstable, plus I want it free anyway. So, you get the SAPI, the
Speak Window, a new blind friendly Speak Window, dictionary tools,
instructions that Blake Roberts wrote, and help support. So, you
can get the beta from me for free with instructions and support, or
you can pay $24.95 to Enable Rehab and get no instructions or
support. And remember, if you buy "DECTALK READER 1" from Enable
Rehab, you don't get what you pay for, you get Dectalk 4.61.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, my songs are all $1.50. I've been sick for a month
so I haven't been doing new songs for a while. I'm still
recovering, but by mid August I'm hoping to be doing songs
again. I plan on doing top 40 songs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So I hope you all check out my store and share it with
others.</DIV>
