Jake: Thank you for creating the two new DECTalk SAPI5 versions. I
noticed something unexpected when using the DECTalk 4.99 SAPI5 with
NVDA. When I load a song file, it can change voices but not sing. I was
surprised because of Jake's message below stating it is possible to send
DECTalk commands to the DECTalk SAPI5.
I only hear "command error in phoneme". When I load the DECTalk 4.60
NVDA driver created earlier this year, the NVDA-specific DECTalk driver
can sing. I have not changed send punctuation marks to synthesizer
settings since making the necessary changes months ago enabling the
DECTalk 4.60 NVDA driver to sing.
