[DECtalk] DECtalk TTS licensing

Hello everybody.

I am looking for an opportunity to license DECtalk software technology to
develop a cross-platform multilingual speech synthesizer compatible with
screen readers. First of all, on Windows and Android, and in the future,
possibly Linux and macOS.

Unfortunately, I ran into the problem of being unable to contact the
copyright holders of DECtalk.

SpeechFX, Inc. website does not work (speechfxinc.com), and I am not
receiving a response to message sent to the email that was previously
indicated on this site (sales at speechfxinc.com).

I tried to contact Roger Dudley personally, who is the CEO of SpeechFX, but
his addresses, which I discovered in the public sources, no longer exist.

I know that there is an available software implementation of DECtalk and
even its source code is publicly available, but these are all illegal
versions. I want to officially license DECtalk for my non-commercial
project.

I will be very grateful if someone can suggest how else I can contact the
copyright holders of DECtalk.

If you have any information, but you do not want to publish it publicly,
then you can write to me directly at nikitamailings at yandex.com

Best regards, Nikita.
