John,
Is this the GW Micro version of Dec-Talk Access 32 or the one that was
available from FS?
Thanks,
Margaret

Finally, I am up and running thanks to the Escalation manager, Jim
Ellsworth. Below, you will find an explanation of what happened and why.
Open Book Version 8.0 will not function with DecTalk 32. In fact, this
software will not work at all if DecTalk 32 is on your PC. Apparently,
there is some kind of conflict which does not allow both software programs
to operate on the same system.
Although DecTalk Access 32 has an uninstall feature, it doesn't work
properly. As a result, when you click on that option called (Unload
DecTalk Access 32) nothing happens. But I believe that this is a tool
which simply takes DecTalk out of operation. It does not uninstall the
program. That can be done through the Add/Remove Programs option on the
Control Panel.
NOTE: There is a code provided by DecTalk Access 32 when you uninstall it.
That code would be needed if DecTalk was ever re-installed. Since there is
a compatibility problem between Open Book 8.0 and DecTalk Access 32, the
likelihood of re-installing it on my system isn't very good.
Once DecTalk Access 32 was removed, Open Book 8.0 worked fine.
LOADING THE PROGRAM:
Please note. Open Book 8 is a very large program and takes quite some time
to load, even on a faster machine. The scanning takes time as well when the
system is set for accuracy rather than speed. You can change the option to
Scan For Speed but you lose a great deal in the process.
GOOD NEWS:
Open Book 8 now uses exactly the same Eloquence speech which is in Jaws 9.
The quality is excellent and you have access to quite a few newer voices.
Some of these are really enjoyable.
I want to thank everyone who tried to help me with this problem. Open Book
has a lot more to offer but it would be a tremendous bore to outline any
more of its capabilities for people who don't use the software.
Freedom Scientific has people on their staff who really do know what they're
doing. That is a very reassuring thing.
