[DECtalk] Surprise! Dectalk 5.0 SAPI

Hi Michael,

I haven't found a way to send head size and other parameters directly
to the synth using TTSApp since it doesn't like spaces in the code.
for instance,
[:dv hs 105 gf 70 la 40]
Will give command errors.

Don't understand this though, seeing as tTSApp works directly with the
synth as far as I know.

Has anyone tried a text to mp3 program like TextAloud or NCH Verbose?
I doubt those would work though, as I think TTSapp is a more direct
way to do this and that's not working, so...

Alex
