I was the lucky person to ruin Curtis's day. FYI to everyone: You can
still use DECtalk Access 32 with Window-Eyes using the built in version.
We do not, however, provide support for software that is no longer
developed or maintained. We had to draw the line somewhere, and we felt
that it was completely reasonable to stop supporting a synthesizer that
most people used for other applications besides Window-Eyes. If you use
Window-Eyes, you can camp happily. If you use some other piece of
software, it's time to let them know you want them to include the
proprietary version of DEC32 as well.

For all of us who still run Windows XP home or PRO who have a change
in processors, where Dec_Access32 is still needed, and no more
3.5-inch floppy drives available, GW-Micro no longer has the software
which will generate the "regcode," to continue support. Software? What
would it cost to keep around for those of us who still would like to
use Dec_Access32, if only software is needed to generate a regcode for
a future service call.
I feel outraged since I am now forced to use Eloquence which I do use
some, but it is not my speech engine of preference.
No thanks, GW-Micro. Sure I will upgrade (if that is what it is) my OS
at some future date, but I had a processor failure / mother board
failure so after there replacement, I am not up the creek without a
DecTalk.
Thanks again! I can use Window-Eyes DecTalk, but not for K1000 where I
like to use it to read a good novel, rather than the so-called "human
sounding" synthesizers, or, again, Eloquence, thank you not so very much.
I must use the jfw Eloquence now too instead of Dec_Access32, also, no
thanks again.
I am not a happy camper today, I can assure you all!
