Hi Adrian,
Seems weird, but perhaps Jaws is sending a command string to the DEC talk when Jaws loads. I'm posting a link below which will take you to a page which discusses, demonstrates and has some documentation for a current text to speech chip which is sort of the current DEC talk. There is a DEC talk manual on the page which should give command strings for the chip which may still be valid for your DEC talk. The link is:

I will keep pondering this one, and let you know if I think of anything.
best,
Dennis

Subject: Dectalk Express, pitch higher in JAWS 17


I'm trying to figure out how to restore the pitch of my preferred voice, Paul, in JAWS 17. It is much higher than in previous versions of JAWS. I don't know why this should be, since I wouldn't have thought JAWS had anything to do with pitch. I find no pitch control in the JAWS voice menus, other than for uppercase letters. I'm unaware of any pitch control in Dectalk Express itself.

I've experimented with the other voice options on my version of Dectalk Express, but I can't stand any of them. also, I've set the speed setting to exactly the same rate as I've had it before.

This is obscure for most JAWS users, but does anyone have any ideas?
