<DIV><FONT size=2>I remember getting, off some random person's ftp site, dectalk
access 32 v4.6. now the file dates were at around 2004. Many people tolled me
this would work on vista, so not exactly keen on trying it I eventually did,
only to find it sounded perfectly normal. While if I would run dt on my nokia
phone with ms I would get that crappy voice you just mentioned, I'd say we
agreed with each other at this point. smile.</FONT></DIV>

talking.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I got an e-mail saying it was 4.64. I wish it
would have been anything before that.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>4.64 actually tells me nothing. See, I have
4.64 in my devices. One is fine, the other I swear can't be
4.64 because it acts weird. The device company claims they
can't touch Dectalk because they have a contract and they say both
versions are the same. I laugh because if you do them
side by side with a voice string, and have them read the very same things,
like if you have something that is an entire paragraph long, the newer
4.64 has a glitch where if you put in a rest, like [_<500>] or
whatever, about 3 sentences later the voice just totally drops in pitch for
like 2 words. It sounds horrible! There are other
differences as well.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>So I'm totally holding my breathe because
from what I know, it's a gamble.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I'm thinking the device company tampered with
Dectalk even though they are contracted not to. If I'm right,
this 4.64 version should be great! But there is no way of knowing.
And yes, my new device with 4.64 sounds depressed. The company swears up
and down that they didn't touch anything and it's all in my head.
(Right) I know my stuff and believe me, one of the 4.64's is not
4.64.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4>I really wish it would have been any version before
4.64 because now I gotta wait and hope it's the true 4.64 that
does not sound depressed.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi, I''m excited and all, but I havea question.
WIll this sound like the dt in window-eyes or access32, oriw ill it be that
sucky one, say, code factory uses? I'm asking because the ladder is
unbearable for me. Dennis, for instance, who's on e of my favourite voices
now doesn't have that much intonation, all the voices sound like they're
depressed or something. If it'll sound like that, then no matter how
tempting it'd be to have dt in klango or nvda I'll probably pass up on
it.</FONT></DIV>
