Sorry about the question, as I've since seen your response. The pitch change is an individual option anyway. For instance, in Eloquence I always raise Shelly, my JAWS cursor voice, to about 85%. In my opinion, the female Eloquence voices aren't as good as the males. As for Bobby, I'd swat that little twit upside the head if I had to hang around him too long.

Cc: Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) Subject: RE: Dectalk Express, pitch higher in JAWS 17 Are you saying you can't change pitch in Voice Adjustment? You should be able to set it the way you want it, and have it stick. I have fond memories of my old DecTalk board from the 1990s, especially Betty.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Clark via Jfw Sent: Friday, November 13, 2015 8:38 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. 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.
