[DECtalk] IBM viavoice outloud comments

[Mohamed Al-Hajamy]

Nobody really knows for sure, but I suppose it might be a bit less 
legally uncertain since the libraries were made freely available by IBM 
themselves, along with publicly available documentation that explains 
the API, and on Windows, ViaVoice TTS, as far as I know, can't be 
purchased legally at all because the company who last sold it 
discontinued it in 2011 or so. I don't know if the newly discovered 
languages are available for Linux, though Voxin is selling Traditional 
Chinese which is still missing on Windows.
