  <DIV>May repeat, it will sing. I know how important this thing is, to me 
  also.</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>For history out there, my involvement with DECtalk began when Dennis 
  played me a tape recording of what he had done and asked me if I was 
  interested in doing something with it. I have been the chief engineer of 
  DECtalk ever since that day in 1981 until my retirement due to vision and 
  cardiac issues, starting with my boss and I running around with a tin cup 
  trying to get money to start something.</DIV>
  <DIV>I just thought of something, there is one incompatibility between old 
  versions and the new, someone could simply write a script to convert the 
  files, because I'm afraid to touch the parser or fear breaking it. In computer 
  terms DECtalk could not reliably process the original phoneme set because we 
  had both an L and an LL phoneme, so L was changed to L ask and why was changed 
  to yx for similar reasons.<BR><BR></DIV>

      <DIV>OK guys enough. I am a little tired of the misinformation and 
      confusion and blaming going on. What careens money has done really is get 
      this SAPI portion working. I'm trying to get some old DLLs working. I do 
      not get any monetary compensation so I can't have any evil intent as you 
      purport to other people. You mentioned putting it old klatttalk setttings, 
      which by the way there aren't any. The synthesizer Digital Equipment 
      Corporation received from Dennis was incomplete. It had only the pH files 
      for handling phonemic input and the vocal tract model, it did not even 
      have letter to sound rules which were functional. As a point of interest 
      historically 4.3 was one of the favorite versions and it was done by me as 
      Dennis was dead. Singing – the code for singing is the same as it was when 
      Dennis finished it with one exception. The original version used a physics 
      music scale which turns out to be slightly different than the musicians 
      music scale. Other than that the singing code has never changed, except 
      for enhanced version of singing which was done on a special Hebrew 
      cantering product. There is a danger clearly expressed in the manual that 
      if you muck around with parameters especially gain parameters things can 
      get strange and these are version specific because to achieve maximum 
      quality a long program was run to calculate each filter gain in the vocal 
      track for every single voice. The incompatibility results from a 
      mathematical issue not anything else. Due to platform restrictions we 
      weren't able to go to a floating point calculation which would've solved 
      all these problems.</DIV>
      <DIV>I am slow because I'm almost blind myself but I said a long time ago 
      that it was my goal to make sure you hit a DECtalk it was reasonable not 
      identical. I say this because I sat there with 4.3 code in front of me 
      comparing it to the code I was working on including pitch tracks and other 
      measurements and just plain looking at the code and although they were 
      very very close people preferred what they've gotten used to. Many of the 
      changes that occurred were a result of Microsoft constantly changing 
      things it was impossible for many different reasons for the original code 
      to be compiled and there are also reasons why it was very difficult to 
      determine what the code actually did and what it was supposed to do. There 
      were many instances where the code obviously didn't do what Dennis's 
      comments said it was supposed to do other things were even legal C 
      constructs in that you could not tell how the compiler would handle the 
      ambiguous statements.</DIV>
      <DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I've been laying 
      back waiting for some of the smoke and dust to settle Now my real question 
      is should I get to work or should I go away. The detailed issues are more 
      complicated than either of Corine her any of you really know. I had&nbsp; 
      programmers leave because they found the complexity of the whole darn 
      thing to intimidating.</DIV>
      <DIV>As a tiny example, if a data entry error is made in the locus data, 
      that can create a significant problem causing the synthesizer to squeal 
      forever and yet be incredibly difficult to find. </DIV>
      <DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; His forests beat goes it's really just 
      a program to shovel stuff to DECtalk so it can be posted anywhere it was 
      an example of how to talk to DECtalk. Like everything else the value is 
      not in speak but is in the knowledge of how to program it for singing. And 
      it's only useful if you happen to have a DECtalk already is the DECtalk 
      DLL cannot be distributed freely and speak doesn't talk sappy it only 
      talks to eight DECtalk. It uses the DECtalk application interface, sapi is 
      simply a mapping of a universally defined set of commands for Windows into 
      device specific commands. So if people want I can send out some samples of 
      something I've worked on following normal procedures we only work on one 
      voice until we were ready to release because of the tuning 
      issues.<BR><BR></DIV>

          Hi,<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; Let me just repeat something after all this 
          discussion.&nbsp; Snoopi, you are<BR>&gt; not<BR>&gt; being removed 
          from this list. I am the only person on&nbsp; Earth with the<BR>&gt; 
          authority to remove people from this list or do any other&nbsp; 
          administrative<BR>&gt; job. And as far as I'm concerned, this whole 
          discussion is&nbsp; valuable.<BR>&gt; Nobody<BR>&gt; will be removed 
          from this list for anything they said or&nbsp; may say on this<BR>&gt; 
          topic.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; I want to state something else too. As I 
          see&nbsp; it, there are several <BR>&gt; schools<BR>&gt; of DECtalk 
          users and fans. There are some&nbsp; who like the DECtalk speech 
          and<BR>&gt; probably would use it with their screen&nbsp; reader if 
          they could, or maybe <BR>&gt; use<BR>&gt; it along with a text to MP3 
          program&nbsp; such as Text Aloud, but don't have <BR>&gt; any<BR>&gt; 
          other more elaborate use for it.&nbsp; Then there are those who think 
          it's cool<BR>&gt; that DECtalk can sing and do all&nbsp; this neat 
          stuff and enjoy listening to<BR>&gt; others' creations, but don't have 
          a&nbsp; clue how to actually make DECtalk do<BR>&gt; any<BR>&gt; of 
          those things. Then there are&nbsp; probably several classes of more 
          advanced<BR>&gt; DECtalk users who, at the high&nbsp; end, could 
          probably transcribe arbitrary<BR>&gt; text<BR>&gt; into phonemes in 
          their&nbsp; sleep. These are the people making the elaborate<BR>&gt; 
          DECtalk songs and skits.&nbsp; And finally, there are the users 
          with<BR>&gt; disabilities<BR>&gt; requiring them to use&nbsp; DECtalk 
          to speak and/or sing. These users almost<BR>&gt; certainly fit into 
          all&nbsp; the previous classes of users I've discussed. I <BR>&gt; 
          fit<BR>&gt; somewhere in the third&nbsp; class of users, the more 
          advanced DECtalkists. So<BR>&gt; as<BR>&gt; you can see, this&nbsp; 
          SAPI is obviously targeted toward the more basic user,<BR>&gt; 
          who<BR>&gt; just wants to&nbsp; use it with their screen reader or 
          other SAPI-enabled<BR>&gt; applications,&nbsp; nothing 
          more.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; Regarding the Speak windows, yes it's true that 
          new&nbsp; hardware and new<BR>&gt; operating systems might come along 
          under which the Speak&nbsp; windows won't<BR>&gt; run.<BR>&gt; 
          However, all is not truly lost even then. As long as,&nbsp; say, a 
          virtual<BR>&gt; machine<BR>&gt; running XP can run under whatever 
          native&nbsp; hardware/OS is being used, Speak<BR>&gt; can then be run 
          under that. Not the most&nbsp; ideal solution I do admit, but<BR>&gt; 
          still, it's better than nothing.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; I&nbsp; personally 
          would like to see the SAPI provide all DECtalk's features,<BR>&gt; 
          but<BR>&gt; it's clear to me that, for whatever reason, that's not 
          going to&nbsp; happen.<BR>&gt; Jayson<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; ----- Original
