Adrian,
I don't have a DECtalk Express, and I guess I hate my DECtalk USB so much
that I have lost it somewhere. When and if I find it, I will try it with
JFW 11. It does seem to use the same Voice Profile settings as DECtalk
Express. I think that the DECtalk name should have never been given to this
synthesizer by Access Solutions since there is no DECtalk speech coming out
of it. I've never been convinced that the programmer of the device had
English as his first language.

Hi, Gary. Do you or any other lister have any reason to know if JAWS 11 is
equally unfriendly to Dectalk Express? As you seem to feel about the
Access version, I'd wonder how I could manage without the unexcelled
quality of this external synthesizer. Dectalk, in its various guises but
excluding the current USB version, has had no rival in nearly two decades.
is one example where the world has gone backwards as it heads relentlessly
into the future.

Ray, I ought to say that I hate to hear that someone else is having
trouble with DECtalk Access32 and JFW11, but since misery loves company, I
won't. Is the person using DECtalk Access32 which was once sold by GW
Micro? Maybe it still is; I haven't looked at their catalog lately.
In my Windows XP Control Panel, I have Freedom Scientific Synthesizer
Eloquence listed. Is this what the person had to remove, and did it cause
any problems with JAWS after its removal? I also have several Eloquence 5
Runtime modules for various languages listed. Those may have been
installed with Window-Eyes; I'm not quite sure now since that was a while
ago.
I won't go into all of my trials and tribulations with DECtalk Access32
and JFW 11. You can read about them in my other message on the list. I do
hope the person you are talking to will report the problem to FS Tech
Support. They claimed that they did not know of any other problems with
this synthesizer and JFW 11.

Subject: JAWS 11 & Dec Access
Hello:
I talked to someone this morning who has upgraded to JAWS 11. He has
Dectalk Access 32 on his system, and while he does see it listed as a
synthesizer, he can't get JAWS 11 to switch to it. The only way he seems
to be able to get Dec Access 32 to work is to uninstall the Eloquence
software.
Anyone using Dec Access and have you gotten it working without
uninstalling Eloquence while using JAWS 11?
