Re: purchasing software dectalk

[Thomas Ward <tward1978 earthlink net>]

Hello, Michael.
The software tts engine being used at CSUN was the Dectalk RT for Linux 
version 4.6.4.However, the newer 5.0 version will work as well with 
Orca, but some feel the new 5 voice isn't as good as 4.6.4.
Anyway, the Fonix web site is a real pain to use. Since I have saved 
this in my favorites here is the direct url to get to the Linux Dectalk 
RT purchase page.
