Hi,
I heard about this some time ago and have been meaning to try it, glad
to know it actually works and people are using it!
Thanks,
Aaron

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.
