<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A while back, I developed a new SAPI5
Interface for DECtalk. This new interface is generally more
responsive than the SAPI5 DECtalk interface that we had for
years, and it doesn’t do any special text processing. In other
words, you can send DECtalk commands just like you would in
the speak windows, that is if the application you are using
doesn’t do any of it’s own text filtering. The downside to
this new interface is that it doesn’t send word or sentence
events back to the application.</p>
