Thank you, Dennis. I really appreciate this thoughtful response. I'm a non-tech guy, and so talk of command strings makes me nervous, but I'll look at the page you refer me to. If anything else occurs to you, I'm all ears.

Cc: Dennis Clark Subject: Re: Dectalk Express, pitch higher in JAWS 17 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: http://www.grandideastudio.com/portfolio/emic-2-text-to-speech-module/ I will keep pondering this one, and let you know if I think of anything. best, Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Spratt via Jfw" <[email protected]> To: "The Jaws for Windows support list." <[email protected]> Cc: "Adrian Spratt" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 13, 2015 4:29 AM 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.
