So I'm wondering, do you use the older speak window of 4.3 or whatever it is? Yeah I think its 4.3 which is the popular ones, but now that this new one has come out, will you start using this one, or still use the more popular one?

As some of you know, I have a website, and for the longest time almost everything was free with hopes for donations.  Well, people were getting free files but never donating.  So sadly I made some changes.  I only say sadly because kids who can't talk can only sing by using Dectalk, so I badly wanted kids to have free access to any song they wanted so they could sing just like any other child.  It got totally abused, so I made some changes.

When Blake and I were working for Enable Rehab, we were given a beta Dectalk SAPI that could sing.  Well, I decided to release it for free because I was tired of Corine publicly saying she didn't have the source code to make it sing.  Internally, she alone decided to remove the singing feature and tell that lie.  Corine got wind that I was releasing the beta Dectalk SAPI, and she relayed a message to me saying she didn't care and wished me well.  It slightly takes the fun out of releasing it, but ok.

So, you get the SAPI, the Speak Window, a new blind friendly Speak Window, dictionary tools, instructions that Blake Roberts wrote, and help support.  So, you can get the beta from me for free with instructions and support, or you can pay $24.95 to Enable Rehab and get no instructions or support.  And remember, if you buy "DECTALK READER 1" from Enable Rehab, you don't get what you pay for, you get Dectalk 4.61.
