[DECtalk] A list of NVDA-pitches for DECtalk

[Josh Kennedy]

I am using the NVDA 2019.2 beta3 addon and the access32.nvda-addon works just fine, except for the pitch bug.

Thank you Aksel for the pitch list. The pitch bug you previously identified in Dectalk for NVDA explains why by  default Kit does not sound like a kid. While attempting to change the voices to the pitches recommended by Aksel today, I was reminded of what I consider to be another bug. I'm using the Dectalk 4.5 add-on. If I change the pitch for one voice, it changes the pitch for the other 8 voices to  match. So if I change Paul's pitch, Harry sounds like Frank. Apparently each voice does not have its own pitch setting in NVDA add-on... I have not tried this lately with other Dectalk for NVDA versions but I recall same experience when I used other Dectalk for NVDA versions in the past.
Question: Are all of the various Dectalk for NVDA add-ons compatible with the current version of NVDA? I tried to install Dectalk 4.4 NVDA add-on and received "failed to install" error even though the file downloaded correctly.

Hi Josh and others interested,
 
Here’s a list of the pitches, that you’ll need to set the DECtalk in NVDA to, if you want the right sound. Some of my calculations resulted in a decimal number, so I just gave the closest number.
 
Here’s the list:
Paul = 24 %
Betty = 53 %
Harry = 13 %
Frank = 35 %
Dennis = 20 %
Kit = 85 %
Ursula = 63 %
Rita = 19 %
Wendy = 50 %
 
It could be very nice, if someone could program this into the nvda addon for each DECtalk Version. However, this list doesn’t aply to DECtalk versions above 4.60.
 
Best regards:
Aksel Christoffersen
