No way to get single user licenses. Only time-based oem licencing. I also checked with some other speech technology companies, no luck. The dectalk owners (both, dectalk software was sold again recently) dont have any single user offers. Also, there was some company which name I forgot, I contacted them and first it looked like they understood the problem and were going to help us, but guess what, no word from them since then. I really would be willing to pay a sane amount of money for a good sounding, multilingual software speech synthesizer under Linux. But it seems, companies dont care. -- CYa, Mario
