This sample as you heard were from version 4.61 which is the install disk I found. The code I sent his version 4.67 which I have not got running yet.<br><br>

<br>Hi,<br><br>Okay, let me ask for a little clarification. The file you just sent, was<br>that synthesized with the new DECtalk under development? If so, I'm very<br>confused. It actually sounds like 4.61 and not 4.64, which was what I<br>
thought the new DECtalk was using. I actually like 4.64 better than 4.61.<br><br>One other interesting thing. In all the demo files I sent up yesterday,<br>everything is pretty much pronounced correctly. However, in your demo, the<br>
word "Lister" is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable rather<br>than the first.<br>Hope this helps.<br>Jayson<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "ebruckert Bruckert" <<a href="mailto:edbruckert@gmail.com">edbruckert@gmail.com</a>><br>
