Excuse me, it is time you guys supported something which, just
requiring "software" as you said on the phone, requiring a minimal
amount of effort, since if it is just "software," why not maintain it
in the case someone like me comes along who needs a refreshment of my
paid for, from you guys, Dec_access32. Keeping that software for
these cases would circumvent this happening as it did today. Now I
feel screwed since I cannot use something I paid for and paid to work
properly in this operating system. Sure, if I updated to Windows 7,
that's another kettle of fish but this is still the same kettle as it were.
Drawing the "line" as you put it, doesn't mean obliterating" it
entirely, it seems to me.

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!
