Ravi,
Are you looking for a text tutorial or an audio tutorial about how to make Dectalk sing? I ask because another member of this list created an audio tutorial in a series of audio lessons. He used to sell it but decided several years ago to make his audio tutorial available free; payment is no longer required. I could send a link to the audio tutorial page if you are interested. If you prefer a text tutorial instead, I think the web page where I first learned about the Dectalk pitches, phonetics etc might still be around...

Subject: Re: [DECtalk] A list of NVDA-pitches for DECtalk 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.

Subject: [DECtalk] A list of NVDA-pitches for DECtalkHi 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
