Adding one extra question to Chime's.
There was, many years back a software edition of the dectalk called
dectalk32
Packaged with window eyes at the very least.
I am curious if anyone knows what became of the rights to that software
coding?
Did the patent go to freedom scientific when they got gw micro?
I am prepared to do an official u. s. patent search, but if someone has
directions, that would help.
best idea would be if possible someday creating *quality* software
synthesis comparative to the quality of dectalk hardware.

Quite an interesting discussion. Many years ago I discovered Jupiter while
looking for screen-reader in Linux which had an exception dictionary-and-also
worked with a DecTalk. Well, in working directly with Karl, we found a DecPC
worked well, but we could not get my newer DecTalk U S B to play nice.
Likewise, Mike Gorse from YASR was not able to get me DecTalk support,
although he was willing to consider a dictionary. Speakup has DecTalk driver
issues which are frustrating, which I've commented on `quite a number of
times. Some1 mentioned SBL? What is that? If I were to ever switch away from
Speakup, I would certainly want a really good review option as Vocal-Eyes
had. And a side question? In the graphical side, is their only ORCA? We tried
getting a 2008 LSR running but not so far. Thanks so much in advance
