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><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Blake</p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 12/15/2022 11:30 PM, Jake Gross wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hi,</p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>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><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I have compiled both DECtalk <a href="https://keybase.pub/datajake1999/Grossgang/tts/DECtalk%204.99/DECtalk%204.99%20SAPI5%20New.exe">4.99</a> and <a href="https://keybase.pub/datajake1999/Grossgang/tts/sapi_voices/DECtalk%20NWS%20SAPI5.exe">4.60 NWS</a> with this new interface.</p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I hope you enjoy these new SAPI5 DECtalks!</p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Jake</p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> </p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________</pre><pre>Dectalk mailing list</pre><pre><a href="mailto:Dectalk@bluegrasspals.com">Dectalk@bluegrasspals.com</a></pre></blockquote><pre style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:.5in'><a href="https://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/dectalk">https://bluegrasspals.com/mailman/listinfo/dectalk</a></pre><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
