[Oralux] Dec-Talk--and-Oralux?

[Hart Larry]

I finally got to try Oralux, however, as I am used to eliquence or dec-talk, 
none of the other speech options were comfortable for me.  I will be thrilled 
to try YASR!  With running from a CD, can I make changes, run tcsh instead of 
bash?  Would I be better off installing to a hard-drive?  Now, here's a reply 
from 2 folks at Fonix about dec-talk.  If I buy this runtime version, can I 
install in Oralux?  Thanks in advance

Hart;
I apoligize, I think I forgot to respond to you last week given the short
week (Good Friday).
The answer to your basic question is: Yes there is a Run Time version of
DEctalk on Linux available.
if you go to our website at fonix.com, look under DECtalk. You will see RT
linux. This is a runtime version that will work on any Linux based App that
has written a driver for it such as EMACspeak.
for single digits you go to single letter spelling mode
[mode spell on]
and that should give you single digits.

Well, first of all, I understand from some dectalk as well as linux lists
for
the blind, that there are software versions of dectalk?  From what I first
heard, version 4.63 is best with more voices?  However, when I phoned Fonix
last Friday, I was told that there were no stand alone linux versions?  I
understand it is $50?  Next thing, is their a command for the old decpc to
switch numbering to single digits?  I cannot find anything in the manual?
Thanks so much in advance
