Yes, 26=14; same note, c# (pronounced c-sharp; the number sign 
indicates sharp).

Have a great day,
Alex

>Hi, so, if I can understand it right, if I have a 26, to make it 
go one octave lower, it could be 14, isn't it?
>I suppose it's the same mathematic operation with herz, that I 
use with Loquendo voice.  With the difference that, if dt is 13 
for the center c note, Loquendo is 130.
>So, to have the octave higher it would be 260.  The double.
>Unfortunately I do not have music sheets with me, to find the 
melody notes, I just use Quick Windows Sequencer, to find the 
melody out.
>I just turn the stereo on with the cd or recording of the 
original song, turn the virtual keyboard on, on my Windows 
sequencer, then start to listen, play and try to follow.  Once I 
find the right note, just one, I stop the stereo and try to play 
it going back.  Or forward, with the notes succession
>and then, if I can, I start working.  With loquendo if it's 
italian, with dt if it's international song.
>Thanks for the considerations about my English, it's about 15 
years I know the language(I am 28) and of course Internet forces 
me to communicate in English almost all the time! I found many 
interesting resources for blind people's integration abroad(from 
computers to hobbies) so if I want to get informations and to 
interact, I must communicate! And, the trouble is that I have the 
sensation I am the only Italian who can make DecTalk sing, I know 
no one else here who can do it
