Hello, Michael. The software tts engine being used at CSUN was the Dectalk RT for Linux version 4.6.4.However, the newer 5.0 version will work as well with Orca, but some feel the new 5 voice isn't as good as 4.6.4. Anyway, the Fonix web site is a real pain to use. Since I have saved this in my favorites here is the direct url to get to the Linux Dectalk RT purchase page. http://fonixspeech.com/pages/dectalk_rt_purchase.php
