@fastfinge I assume you didn't mention the modern efforts with regard to DECtalk due to the legal situation with that source code being about as clear as mud?

@jaybird110127 Yup. That and the fact that the sourcecode isn't getting updated; just getting it to keep compiling is a huge effort. There is a 64-bit build, but it doesn't actually work. I consider dectalk pretty much dead, even though the source is available.
