<div>First some baseline testing stuff. Do not over test it in
other words in the beginning this is a rough cut so if we get
into too many details or changes it will just all become mud. We
should only make a few changes at a time, the other problem may
become differences of opinion especially with some of the voices
which were never very stable because we never really liked
exactly what we had. This is an old version of DECtalk so
occasionally you will hear little homes at the end of things
during what should be silence. This is a mathematical problem
called a limit cycle when we're finished I'll add the new code I
developed to squelch it. It took us years to figure out a way to
get rid of it perceptually we never could get rid of it
mathematically. Lastly I had to change the gain of voicing on
the modified voice that was sent without going into a long
explanation which I can later if people want the gains of the
cascade vocal track have never ever been constant it's a
mathematical issue where you're constantly trying to adjust them
between quantization and overload and we've never been able to
guarantee them.</div>
<div>Lastly people can think about singing. The problem is that
most SAPI applications strip stuff out so I'm looking for
suggestions of how we could fool it and tell DECtalk that it was
supposed to go into phonemic mode so it can sing. I don't know
what can and cannot get through the various applications and
while </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Again don't put too much effort in two critical listening at
this stage as were not fine-tuning it just training 3n where
targets are<br>

I had a generator the bad news is I had to use it. I'm
having trouble with the 2008 free edition of visual C
I can't run the debugger. But before I uninstall and
reinstall it I want to get this baseline out but it's
a little bit painful because I can't run the debugger
so I'm doing it by an archaic method. So it'll be out
sometime today and then I'll reload visual C. <br>

Ed, nice job. The only thing I would have to say is the intonation
is a little off, but that could be changed by a series of parameters
inserted by the user. Nice job dude, keep up the good work.<br>
