[Kde-accessibility] DECtalk/Linux and other commercial speech synthesizers

[Gary Cramblitt]

I would like to write a plugin for the KDE Text-to-Speech Deamon (KTTSD) to 
support DECtalk/Linux.  This is a commercial package from Fonix that supports 
English, German, Spanish, and French.  Although these languages can be 
synthesized using the plugins we already have, it would be nice to support 
users who might have DECtalk.

If anyone has a copy they wouldn't mind me having, or knows where I can 
acquire such a copy at no cost, I'd be appreciative.

Olaf is already working on getting us a copy of IBM ViaVoice.

If anyone knows of other commercial synths they think ought to be supported 
and can get me a copy, please let me know.

Thanks.
