I'm open to posting a few song files. I usually sell my work. I have
Cerebral Palsy, so I type really slow. So a song can take me up to 10 hours to
program.
I'm just sharing my 900 files with you guys because I'm glad I found other
Dectalk lovers. I've got 500 customers waiting for these files, so if you guys
post them on a site, it will hurt my income. I need money to do more stuff.

Hello,
Is there any chance that these files would work with an original DecTalk
DTC01? I would love to increase the repertoire of our robotic animated
head. Details at:
http://www.robotgroup.net/index.cgi/BabblingHead
We could probably host a few of these song files on our web site if people
would be interested. Don't know if we could host all 900 but we could
probably handle a moderate selection of files.
Thanks!
