my telephone conversation with him tonight. He told me that voice and version won't
matter. So using version 4.3 and Paul is fine. He requests that the audio files
be converted to mp3 at 96kbps. If possible, he would like the audio to be stereo.
I told him that converting mono to stereo might be too much work for you. I think
audio generated automatically by Dectalk 4.3 is mono if I remember correctly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

However, it does contain 118894 words. I will try and convert all these words

any specific version? I don't know whether one is easier than another. It may
take some time, both because I am busy and because that's a really large number
of words. I should also ask you if I should compress the resulting audio to any

to write such a program, but I should first ascertain how you would like it
done. I assume that either you would just like me to insert a word into the
speak window? Or would you prefer me to have a program automatically create a
wave file of each word in a dictionary? How large a database should I use? If
you have one, I can just use that, or I have some word lists of my own that
could be effective. Any of these can be easily written if you desire it, but I
just need the program spec so I know what to do.<br>

to create a program which can copy all words from a dictionary for use in
Dectalk speak window? I refer to a normal dictionary not the Dectalk
dictionary. In such a program, individuals would select a word from a list of
icons. The word would then be copied into the speak window and converted to a
wave file for playback. Snoopi also told me to specify that some people may
think he's out of his mind. The reason behind his request is that he would love
for people to be able to use Dectalk on Android. Such a program would enable
people who use speech synthesis for communication to communicate in Android via
