Before I knew Dectalk was availible in other languages I programmed songs in 
French, German, Spanish, and Latin.  And since someone mentioned French, I 
thought I'd send you all a French file.  The femail harmony is availibe if 
anyone 
wants it.  I don't have a software version that I can easily work with, so 
I'm hoping this file works on the software version.  If not, do a quick search 
for << and replace it with <.  If that doesn't do it, e-mail me and I'll bring 
up my software Dectalk and tell you the quick fix.

Hello,

Would you know if Fonix will finally be able to put an international
SAPI compatible version to buy?

I heard the french voice for Dectalk, it's pretty bad compared to the
US-english version, but if I could make dectalk sing in french, I
would be happy.
