Hi folks,
Kyle, glad you located the project.
There is a dectalk mailing list where the developers for this project seek
input and testers.
To be sure, the effort to address licensing is a key focus as well.
I am curious Kyle, when used with Orca, which of the dectalk voices may
you choose from?
Will share your success with the dectalk group.
cheers,
Karen

I'm happy to be in the fediverse right now. Looking through my timeline, I
just found a link to a Github repository that has DECTalk source code,
apparently released by some of the original DECTalk developers.
https://github.com/dectalk/dectalk
The LICENSE file still has scary words like "proprietary" and "confidential"
and "all rights reserved," but the source builds and works. I have it working
in speech-dispatcher with Orca as I write this.
Note that this is the DECTalk software version 4.x, the one that sounds just
like the DECTalk Express from the 1990's, so anyone who needs hardware speech
should feel right at home with this. No, this is not the 5.x DECTalk that
really sounds like crap. Have fun and enjoy, and I do hope they fix this
license soon. It would be good to have another truly free speech synthesizer
to play with, and this is definitely a huge step in that direction.
