I don't know if this goes here but does anyone know how to make the Decktalk sing?

The x site interactive guy did some dectlak singing program, but its not exactly easy to use.
Its erelevent because he took the company down as of furthur notice because his grandmother died, hes just weird like that.

i'd love to do that myself, but need to find the dectalk software. the company's site doesn't seem to have it anymore.

I may have the escape sequences around here somewhere. Way back when I did a gwbasic program to make the dectalk speak one word and it was hell. You had to put all the phonemes together to make it sound right. But it was fun working on that level of speech.
I'll see if I have the list of escape patterns and post it.

here is the sw to make it sing, but I suppose it's the manually-driven software, you write in the file .txt the phonemes manually
I can make it sing, but, it takes about 20-24 hours of full work!
I'm interested in that x-sight interactive's program I'll search for it on Google, hoping to find it
well,
I have also the italian synth singing it's the loquendo 4.3 version it's easier to make it sing but it doesn't support english. *sigh*
