[DECtalk] DECTALK STORE

[Blake Roberts]

I find Snoopi's Dectalk store to be 100 percent blind-friendly. There are
text icons for everything. After a song has been sampled and you want to
buy, it is easy to type the song title into the edit box or paste that
information in. I have purchased several of Snoopi's already mixed songs and
find the payment process accessible, including useage of PayPal.
Snoopi also does song requests for $15. This includes purchase of the sheet
music. If any of you would like him to create a Dectalk song, it is
important to verify that he can obtain the sheet music prior to payment.
There used to be a song request form on his site which has disappeared. A
simple workaround is donating the song request fee. I paid him yesterday to
create a Dectalk song which turned out awesome. Again, I can attest to the
accessibility of everything in Snoopi's store.

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.
