He is or was CEO of speech-fx-inc. or fonixTalk. I asked him if all decTalk source code could be put up on GitHub if he has it. I also did the same with Paolo Leva and the old formant tts, infovox230. I asked him the same thing and I am waiting on their replies. I have to cancel my LinkedIn premium by June 24<sup>th</sup> to ensure I do not get charged $60 a month because I do not want that. I just got this premium trial to contact the makers of the old tts systems and asking them if they have access to source code if they could or would please make it available on GitHub for the community to play with.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:Text_to_Speech@GMX.com">Don</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, May 27, 2021 13:38<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:dectalk@bluegrasspals.com">dectalk@bluegrasspals.com</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [DECtalk] decTalk 4.4 4.5 and 4.6 as sapi5?</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>On 5/27/2021 5:33 AM, mattias wrote:</p><p class=MsoNormal>> or maybe the company have forgot to pay the domain</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Yes.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Again, I see nothing that suggests, "Hi!
