Hi Thomas, I use DECtalk 4.64 myself, and have used 4.61 in the past, but have never had experience with version 5. Having said that though, the reason I bought 4.64 was that my perception was that some users didn't care for the speech quality of version 5. i'm not sure how much you could ascertain by listening to the orca demo at csun,but I would be curious as to what your thoughts are as to the speech quality of 4.64 vs that of 5?
