     Please forgive me if this may have been posted before..
       Does anyone know of any books, magazines, articles etc that has information
    on DecTalk?  Any kind of info would be wonderful.  I'm doing a paper on speech
    synthesis, and I can use all the sources I can get.
       Thanks in advance!

The seminal article is

Klatt, D.H. (1987) "Review of text-to-speech conversion for English",
J. Acoust Soc. Am. 82(3), 737-793.

If you can find the original it has a record (remember those)
with loads of demos. The review is obviously
bisaed towards formant synthesis, and of course klattalk/Dectalk,
but is still excellent.
