[DECtalk] my decTalk sounds strange

Yes I think you are right. I wonder what the pitches for the other voices should be? The bug is when I switch voices the pitch does not change in order to match the voice I am switching it to using the NVDA addon. I wonder how difficult it would be to add decTalk and softVoice as voices in Espeak? It would probably just be a matter of having Espeak load the dll files for decTalk and or softVoice tts and assigning them an espeak voice, such as:
Dt+m1 for Paul, and so on.

Hi,

I think the exact right pitch is 24 %.

Best regards:

Emne: [DECtalk] my decTalk sounds strange

Hi
The decTalk addon I am using was not sounding quite right when I compared it to some of the decTalk speak windows. I found out why. There is a bug in the addon where when you switch decTalk voices, the pitch is not set correctly. The pitch was set to 16, I was using Paul which is my favorite voice, and it sounded strange because Paul’s pitch for NVDA should be set to 25%. I changed it, now decTalk sounds much better. 

Josh
