Is it just me, or is the Dectalk software 5.0 the worst-sounding software synthesizer ever produced? I think between Fonix and Force Computing, they've absolutely ruined the Dectalk. This thing sounds like it's got tape over its mouth, and 4.61 sounded like it was intoxicated. Not only that, the installer bombs out with an "unexpected end-of-file" error. It still seems to work, however. I urge anybody who is considering this product to think again! I'd rather listen to Flite's monotonous voice. At least it's clear. It's not worth $50. It isn't worth $0.01! When I pay for software, I expect quality. I hope the USB Dectalk that everybody talks about won't sound like this.
