The code for the version of DECtalk that was used in TropeTrainer was released some time ago by one of the original developers as part of a project to preserve and revive DECtalk. The code can be found on the internet archive. https://archive.org/download/DTK_SRC/hebrew_mac_2016_09_04_l...
Re:DECtalk source code and new version under development

A while back, the late Edward Bruckert released an archive of source code to the DECtalk mailing list. For those who don't know, DECtalk Is a text to speech system that was Invented by Dennis Klatt In the 1980s, and It still has a niche audience to this day.
Several developers Including myself are working on a new version that sounds more classic, as the original code we got from Bruckert Is for a Beta version of DECtalk 5.0, which sounds almost nothing like the classic versions that most people like.
Recently, another former developer released the sources for several older versions of DECtalk, and this speed up the development process quite a bit, as we previously relied mainly on reverse engineering older versions of the software. I have uploaded the original archives of source code to the Internet archive, as there Is a lot we can learn from this collection. Long live DECtalk!
