 Digital - Associative Computing licenses DECtalk
        {Livewire, Worldwide News, 16-Apr-97}
         (From wire services)
   Associative Computing, Inc. (ACI) has licensed DIGITAL's DECtalk
 text-to-speech technology for ACI's TextAssist and follow-on products.  ACI
 plans to integrate DECtalk with its natural language processing and artificial
 intelligence technology to create intelligent agents that will understand
 verbal commands and speak in kind.  ACI will market its DECtalk-enabled
 products in the retail and OEM markets.
   TextAssist is a text-to-speech system that reads text aloud from any Windows
 text-editing application.  The product's nine pre-defined voices can be
 fine-tuned or customized for specific applications.  TextAssist also features
 a built-in dictionary editor that allows users to customize the pronunciation
 of any word.
   ACI's TextAssist uses DECtalk for its basic speech synthesis functionality
 and for its English language capabilities.  For additional information,
