There are heaps of goodies in this zip file. Some of them are: • A 1 megabyte executable that allows sending and receiving baudot phone calls. • a one megabyte file, Spchapi.exe, that allows installation of the Microsoft Version 4.0 Text To Speech Engines. • some Microsoft Text To Speech voice files that PCTTY install tries to install (Sometimes this install fails and you must download the files from here • a 100,000 English word dictionary so that “predictive text” DTMF typing can take place and so that people can realistically type DTMF messages on the phone to a PCTTY program — that is, without TTYs. • a WAP cgi script and attendant files so that WAP mobile phone conversations can take place with PCTTY. • a Java Applet chat program (originally written by Michael Kohn!) that allows any browser on your intranet to control the TTY, that is participate and dial out TTY calls.
