I wouldn't worry about *DECtalk*!  Invest your time (and feedback) in a
technology that folks are still developing.  So you can benefit from those
new developments instead of trying to keep holding onto something "long past
its prime".

*My* users can opt to have my device speak back to them in their voice (!)
-- because it listens to everything they say as well as how they say it!

So, it is constantly building and revising its models of their voice (to
help it better understand their "commands" as well as to better
*impersonate* them -- if they so desire).  this eliminates the need for the
user to "train" the synthesizer to their voice.

Had I chosen formant synthesis for my primary synthesizer, I'd never be able
to offer that "feature" to them!
