[DECtalk] dectalk sapi5

[Miguel Villagomez]

I should also follow up with this comment by saying that, if the voice is
only being detected by certain games and applications, that's because SAPI
DEC'talk is only 32-bit, and newer applications will only accept 64-bit
SAPI voices like Code Factory Eloquence.
