[DECtalk] NVDA addon

You have to go into NVDA symbols pronunciations dialog and set the left
bracket, right bracket, underline, and colon characters to always be sent to
synthesizer with the combo box that you tan over to.

Hi,


I ran into an odd problem. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. I downloaded
and installed the DECtalk NVDA addon from Jake's link. It installed fine and
it works fine but I can't get it to sing. I opened a song and read the file
in Notepad. All it did is say the DECtalk commands but no singing. What am I
missing? I am sure this is something obvious and I admit I didn't look
through the tools and preferences but it didn't jump out at me. I tried
unchecking the boxes for character processing. What am I missing?


Also, is there any chance of getting a different build with better speech
quality? I can't stand the 4.6.X voices. The UK one sounds particularly
horrible. I'm not meaning to complain as something is better than nothing
but if there is a simple way to get better speech, that would be wonderful.
What about making this work with JAWS and other screen readers? I can't
stand my current software speech and wish I could go back. Hardware speech
isn't practical but a high quality DECtalk voice would be nice. thanks very
much for making this available regardless. I definitely appreciate it. It is
still better than most robots out there.
