[DECtalk] decTalk on IOS with TestFlite beta app?

[Karen Lewellen]

speaking as a person who uses dectalk...several times a day, in fact every 
time she uses a computer, far be it for you to tell me something is past 
its prime.
I  vote for giving individuals who incorporate speech into their lives, 
rather  a few these days, choices.
Would rather have dectalk as a smart device than siri or what's her name 
from  amazon any day.  Latter, speaking personally, sounds rather 
constipated.
Has it ever occurred to you, that some folks simply are glad to get 
anything..even if it sounds dreadful to them?
Linux anyone?
You keep  hyping how poor said market is..what a way to devalue another 
human just because of their eye chart  scores.
some of that living on social security, have no issues buying 
apple products, so.
Honestly treat the market like it has value, give them quality dectalk as 
a choice, and you might be surprised.
Kare who still has not read all of this thread laughs.
