Hi Colin, No significance at all. Dec has always said Strung for Stung. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Colin Howard Sent: 16 August 2007 10:31 To: All_the_Techy_Lists_to_which_I_am_Subscribed@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Dec Express - strange speech! Greetings, I have been using Dec Express for a good while and for the most part, find it's speech perfectly acceptable. I am aware that Dec synths handle quotes and apostrophe characters in a somewhat excentric manner and also when doing some bible notes and having to write the word "Caleb" it pronounces it "Cackub". I have just written an email with the subject: "I've been stung" and Dec Express says it as: "I've been strung" I would be interested in any other such oddities in synths. I am using Jaws v5.1 on an Evesham laptop, running WindoesME, but can't really believe that has any signifficance. Colin Howard looks forward to hearing from you. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
