[DECtalk] how to uninstall sapi5 dectalk properly?

[Brandon Tyson]

Hi,

Yep, confirmed. I noticed this too, and will see if we can figure out what's going on.

In the meantime, you might want to delete the voice tokens from hklm\software\microsoft\speech\voices\tokens

Thanks,

B

How do I remove them from the list? Something is not getting unregistered during the uninstall of dectalk sapi5 but I am not sure what to delete to get rid of the leftover voice entries for jake’s decTalk sapi5. Also for whatever reason it is not nearly as responsive as espeak sapi5 or eloquence sapi5 so yet another reason why I want to uninstall completely.
