[DECtalk] how to uninstall sapi5 dectalk properly?

The Dectalk 5.0 SAPI in the Dectalk folder is dated June 26. The one in SAPI Voices folder is dated June 24. I suggest that the installers in both folders be the same. Two installers with same file name and different upload dates is confusing.

Hi,

To get the new one, go to:
http://grossgang.com/tts
Then click on the SAPI Voices link, then DecTalk 5.0 SAPI5.exe

Thanks,
