[DECtalk] New SAPI5 DECtalks

[Blake Roberts]

Jake: Thank you for creating the two new DECTalk SAPI5 versions. I 
noticed something unexpected when using the DECTalk 4.99 SAPI5 with 
NVDA. When I load a song file, it can change voices but not sing. I was 
surprised because of Jake's message below stating it is possible to send 
DECTalk commands to the DECTalk SAPI5.

I only hear "command error in phoneme". When I load the DECTalk 4.60 
NVDA driver created earlier this year, the NVDA-specific DECTalk driver 
can sing.  I have not changed send punctuation marks to synthesizer 
settings since making the necessary changes months ago enabling the 
DECTalk 4.60 NVDA driver to sing.
