[DECtalk] DecTalk can speak Italian, but it's rediculous!!!

[Raymond Grote]

LOL You know that actually appeared as a link?
Oh yeah, and if you've heard of ESpeak, it's the worst synth I've ever heard
besides the really old Braille 'n Speak or other similar, very old synths.
And I do not know how to uninstall synthesizers.
How do you know that Force Computer did or did not take over Dectalk?

I guess force computers learned how to create synthesizers from
www.make-a-crappy-synth.com/dectalk_crap_ccreation.htm/ lol.
that's not true I was kitting.
and no problem It was all done by my ear listening, and my hands typing.
