[DECtalk] regarding nvda dectalk driver number 2

[Blake Roberts]

Thanks for the report on your experience . It's good to know that voices
that I thought were messed up in Dectalk for NVDA #2 can be fixed with
simple pitch modifications.

Subject: [DECtalk] regarding nvda dectalk driver number 2


I have tried this driver, and want to report that the voices have nothing
wrong with them. It is true that only Paul, Dennis, Rita, and Harry work
outright, but simple pitch changes render the voices normal-sounding. This
was, as some of you might remember, a problem with the eloquence driver,
which was accordingly fixed. I believe that this driver may also be fixed.
Also, an issue would occur if a particular executable file in the driver
folder was not in use, making the driver unusable. All that must be done to
fix this is to put a shortcut to that executable in the startup folder,
before NVDA, so that the driver is initialized first. As others might
remember, this was and still is true with using the kurzweil dectalk
access32 with JAWS. In short, nothing nonfixable is in this driver, at least
at this moment.

    I have also attached a rough sample of the voices, on a bad microphone.
