[DECtalk] DT 5.0

Thu May 21 12:12:46 EDT 2015

It is possible for dectalk 5.0 to be found in various things, but a 
speak window or a helpfully-packaged version has not surfaced. For 
example, I am aware of an arduino-connected board that uses 5.0. This 
isn't very helpful. From everything I have heard, the speech sounds like 
a transitional case between 4.6.4 and fonixTalk. I do believe that I was 
able to obtain a speak window for 5.0 from fonix several years ago, but 
I have been unable to find it on the old computer I think I was using. 
I'll report back if anything helpful shows up, but I do not anticipate this.
