[DECtalk] GitHub DECtalk is really coming along quite nicely

[jamminjerry at jjhof.com]

What I would like to know is when can we use this with a screen reader like
either JFW, or NVDA? I really miss the old days of dectalk. I will say is
what I don't miss is the odd squeal you would get from time to time. Smile.

Hi Jayson,

That's some really interesting work. How was it possible to get it that
close to the old versions?

I tried running various text files through the build you send out, and so
fare, I have found a little error / difference between this and the old
versions, before Fonix. When you write a "period" after a "right square
bracket", which ended some phonemes, DECtalk 4.3 will just make the normal
pause as at the end of a sentence, while this build, a long with Fonix
versions sutch as 4.64, pronowns the sign "period", and then pauses.
Otherwise, as you wrote, some exclaims and ends of sentences sound a little
"flat", but otherwise I think it sounds really good.

Kind regards:
Aksel Christoffersen
