[DECtalk] User dictionary

[Kyle]

The first time I tried to join a Discord server, it told me that the 
invite I had was invalid, even though it was given to me by the person 
running the server. Then they disabled my account due to some sort of 
spam that I never sent, as I had only even used the website twice 
unsuccessfully. I got my account reenabled on appeal, but haven't tried 
using it since then. I guess now is as good a time as any to try again, 
as I really would like to get this user dictionary thing sorted out. I 
would love to be able to work with the speech synthesizer directly 
rather than change pronunciations in my screen reader.


On a side note, I got an email from a client yesterday asking about 
cloning a git repository. I answered that question, and then find that 
what my client was cloning was

So we have yet another user of this wonderfully old and wonderfully 
lovely DECTalk software that seems to be aging like a fine wine. Even 
probably 30 or more years ago when I heard this speech for the first 
time, I thought it sounded really good for its time, and even now it 
sounds better than most of the stuff we have now, with the possible 
exception of Espeak, which if nothing else is more clear because of the 
higher sample rate. I'm actually having a lot of fun seeing other people 
using and having fun with these voices.
