I have to agree with Ed that what is really needed in this use
case of generating possibly hundreds of thousands of tiny wav
files is a script that can use the Say program. However, I'm not
aware of a DLL for DECtalk 4.3. If such a thing survives, I'd
love to have a copy so we could use it with Say. Also, maybe we
could use it with the SAPI DECtalk project.<br>

Ed, Thank you for finding all of the stuff such as phonemes
for other languages. As another list member said, perhaps you
could upload the 100mb of stuff to Dropbox? <br>

Carlos, I posed your questions to Snoopi during 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. <br>

Two things I found the phoneme info all languages that he
asked for. <br>
<br>
Also depending how he wants to use this I can give you some
advise on setting as <br>

because how it’s done affects how it sounds. Also I would
recimmend sat.exe which I used <br>

for recording tests. My is sick so I’ll get this out asap but

I have a database that I will try. This is from an actual
dictionary, and contains some words that may not be desired
(I can see "'id al-fitr", which may not be a super-popular
one). However, it does contain 118894 words. I will try and
convert all these words to audio for you. I assume Paul is
acceptable (let me know if it is not). Also, 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 format? I
could do mp3, ogg, etc. and if you are attaching it to an
android app the library could be smaller. <br>

It would be easy for me 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>

While I was speaking with Snoopi tonight, he asked me to
post a question to the listserv. Would it be possible 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 Dectalk. <br>
