<p>Ulysses and all,</p>
<p>It is also not clear to me what DECTalk is saying when you type
dennis klat as one word, dennisklatt. To me, the two final words
sound like "chow show", but I cannot understand what else it is
trying to say in that easter egg. I tried changing DECtalk voices
but the easter egg is still a mystery.<br>

<p>Hi! This is all great! I also found that setting the option to
send punctuation to synthesiser to always will make this work as
well!</p>
<p>I typed in that name, 'dennisklatt', but unfortunately my
hearing isn't what it once was, so I cannot tell what it is
saying. I'd appreciate any clarification on this! The closest
thing I could hear was, 'Sue in much our shore.'</p>

<p>Hi list,</p>
<p>Jake: That is amazing that you were able to acquire DECTalk
source code. Your message below made my day!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Here are two additional pieces of information I discovered
from using Jake's new multilingual DECTalk 4.6 NVDA add-on
which might interest some other list members.<br>
</p>
<p>1. It works with NVDA version 2022.2.2.</p>
<p>2. It can sing! I could never get an old DECTalk NVDA add-on
which claimed to have singing functionality to work. When I
loaded Jake's new DECTalk NVDA add-on and a song text file,
doing a say all command caused it to sing the entire song.
Unlike speak windows, pressing the control key stops singing
immediately. For me, a dream has become reality!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am so happy right now that I don't mind this DECTalk list
being called "error in phoneme" when I encounter a message
from this list in my inbox. I understand that happens because
the list name is between brackets in message subject line.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the past couple days, I have been
having a field day with some DECtalk source code I got
from a former Fonix Employee. The versions I have sources
for are 4.60, 4.60 R008, 4.62, 4.63, 4.64, and 5.0, as
well as Internal development tools that were used to
develop various parts of the engine such as the phoneme
and rule tables.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Version 4.60 R008 Is Especially
Interesting, as this Is literally the version that shipped
with Window Eyes. The codebase for this particular version
Is based on code from late 1999, so this was the 4.60 era.
Modifications started on June 13 of 2003 at 8:08 PDT and
It was built at 9:12 PDT on the same day, and the only
things that were modified were some slight tweaks to the
audio playback code and the vocal tract model.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The build log In the archive Is the
build log for the DLL that shipped with window eyes, as
the timestamp of that DLL Is 6/13/03 9:12:21 and the build
log timestamp Is 6/13/03 9:12:20.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4.62 sounds like 4.61 for the most
part, however It has an Interesting bug with a particular
word. Also, type “denissklatt” In any version of DECtalk
for a little easter egg.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Version 4.63 uses HLSyn, so It doesn’t
sound like classic DECtalk at all.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also put together <a href="https://keybase.pub/datajake1999/Grossgang/tts/synthesizers%20for%20nvda/dectalk/DECtalk%204.6.0%20Multilingual.nvda-addon" moz-do-not-send="true">a multilingual NVDA addon for
DECtalk 4.6</a>. The Included DLLs were built with
Visual Studio 2005 and I disabled the license checks In
the code.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I <a href="https://keybase.pub/datajake1999/Grossgang/tts/DECtalk%20source%20code%20archive/" moz-do-not-send="true">have uploaded all of this stuff
to my keybase</a>, and the person I was In
correspondence with said It was OK If I did so.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone wants anything built, feel
free to let me know.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have fun,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jake</p>
