Categorically agreed. I use Dectalk Express, an external device that, among other things, spares me sound card issues. But above all, Dectalk is exponentially more listenable and responsive than Eloquence. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake Sinnett" <frequency660@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Personally, I like DECTalk. I had a PC2 and used it with Windowbridge. But I digress. DECTalk software is comperable to if not more responsive than eloquence.From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Performance of dectalk access 32 Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 08:37:45 -0500 Maybe the RealSpeak synths have reduced the need, but I've always been curious about this particular product, having used the old DecTalk card for both DOS and Windows back in the late '90's (anyone remember those old Doug Wakefield demos about 20 years ago--now I'm really dating myself). I remember some JFW training tapes that used it, and recall being surprised when HJ adopted Eloquence, rather than DecTalk. How does the software sound and respond, compared too other software products, or the old hardware? I remember having a strong affinity for Betty. If I keep recalling stuff like this, I may have to adopt a new handle--maybe ancient hillbilly?

Assuming you bought your copy of DECtalk access 32 from GW micro give them a call and they can give you an unlocking code for you to key into a edit field. After you do this your copy of DECtalk access 32 will be authorized. I just went through this process approximately 3 months ago. You do not have to buy a USB floppy disk drive. I repeat you do not have to buy a USB floppy disk drive. Just remember to call the DECtalk access 32 vendor where you purchased your copy of DECtalk access 32. I'm sure they can give you the unlocking code assuming you purchased DECtalk access 32. I hope this helps. Chris. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patricia Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:42 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: installing dectalk access 32 to work with jfw I have a copy of dectalk access 32 but I have no floppy drive on my laptop. the read me instructions that I have tell me that I do not need one but I am continually prompted for a floppy. has anyone installed dectalk access 32 without a floppy drive?
