On July 30th I might be singing with Peter Yarrow again, and it would be too weird to be using 2 different versions of Dectalk.  And live on stage I need to be very fast, if I switch versions, how do I know a command won't create feedback.

I would rather use Dectalk 4.40 because it is the closest I can get to Dennis Klatt.  I never met him, but his work gave my life meaning.  I have to believe that he would never want the singing feature removed from Dectalk.  I had too many kids light up when they learned that they can sing with Dectalk.  It's a gift from Dennis and I love to pass it on.

>> Hi, I don't think I ever mentioned this on the listserv because I didn't know I could.  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.

>> I have one announcement that I'm still pinching myself over because I can't believe I'm being allowed to do this without a fight.  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.

>> I'm not charging for the SAPI because the singing part is unstable, plus I want it free anyway.  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.

>> Anyway, my songs are all $1.50.  I've been sick for a month so I haven't been doing new songs for a while.  I'm still recovering, but by mid August I'm hoping to be doing songs again.  I plan on doing top 40 songs.

>> So I hope you all check out my store and share it with others.
