<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>
