[DECtalk] Elan sayso demo

[Jake Gross]

Thank you. Where did you find this?
p.s. Are you the same person who created the softvoice nvda 
addon?

Very interesting find! Thanks for posting about it. These voices 
from 2004
might not be fully compatible with Windows 7. I say might because 
selecting
the voices in JAWS and NVDA results in silence and JAWS appears 
to crash.
However, I can use the Elan voices in TextAloud with no problems 
at all.
Strange... Although I will probably end up uninstalling them 
soon, I might
reinstall them in the future. Since the installer was created 
prior to
Windows 7, I suppose difficulties like the ones I experience can 
be
anticipated.

Since people are sharing their finds, here's something kind of
interesting. This is a 2004 or there abouts demo of Acapela Elan 
sayso
TTS. Elan speech had at this point purchased another company, 
Digalo,
and also included their engines and they also made a few of their 
own.
This  is a demo that you could get for free from Elan by request 
that
includes all of their offerings, plus documentation as well as 
SAPI 4
and 5 API's. It includes quite a few voices in many languages, 
including
very old versions of Aaron, Graham and Lucy, as well as others 
that
you've probably never heard before. The catch? It's a 30-day 
trial,
except someone didn't check the code right so as a result once 
the demo
runs out, you can just uninstall and install it again and you'll 
get
another 30 days. It definitely installs and works on XP, I'm not 
sure
about newer WIndows versions.
