SpeechFX

[edit]

What is the current status and URL of SpeechFX, a company that sells speech synthesis tools? The old domain, speechfxinc.com, went down sometime after 2021. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 10:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At DECtalk, I removed a citation URL in the former domain that aparently redirects to a malware site. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 10:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I found this in a blog (not a "reliable source"): "Fonix made their own upgrades to DECtalk, including releasing versions 5.0 and 5.0.1, but the speech market was shrinking and despite spinning off the Fonix Speech unit as SpeechFX in 2011, neither company survived. Fonix went out of business in 2014 and SpeechFX closed their doors in 2020."[1]  --Lambiam 10:02, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
