Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and decTalk access32
Hi I found your comment that Dectalk Access 32 works in Windows 10 very interesting. So, yesterday I decided to give it a try on a Windows 10 system using JAWS 17,0.2147. In the first attempt I used the Synthesizer and Braille Manager to add the Dectalk Acces32 voice profile. Then I restarted JAWS and used JAWSkey+control+s to change to that synthesizer. But when I did, JAWS started talking using the Eliquence voice instead of the Dectalk voice. When I pressed JAWSkey+control+s again, JAWS told me that Eliquence was the default profile. SO I uninstalled the Dectalk Access voice profile and then re-added it again. But instead of Just restarting JAWS I rebooted the system with the same results. So I went to JAWS, Options, voices and then voice adjustment and selected the Dectalk Access32 profile. When I tabbed to Person, in both the all contexts and the individual contexts all JAWS said was blank. And there wasn't any way to change the person to a Dectalk Access32 voice. So I repeated the Uninstall and re-install of the Dectalk Access32 profile. But instead of immediately changing to that profile I went to JAWS, Options, Voices and Voice adjustment and selected the Dectalk Access32 profile. And jaws started speaking using the Dectalk voice. . I changed the profile settings I wanted, then saved the profile and made it the default profile. So I had Dectalk Access32 working for the rest of the day using the dectalk voice. But when I rebooted the system this morning, JAWS did not start talking automatically with the Dectalk Access32 synthesizer as it is set to do. So I changed to the Eliquence profile and then back to Dectalk Access32. But instead of talking with the Dectalk voice, I was back to the Eliquence voices and had no way of changing them. So if you have the Dectalk Access32 running successfully with the Dectalk voice and see anything I might of missed, please let me know. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Josh Kennedy Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 06:07 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and decTalk access32 so even though DecTalk is there DecTalk access32 is there in jaws17 you still cannot use it?

DecTalk sapi5 is free but doesn't sound much like original decTalk, don't know what they did to it. and decTalk access32 works fine in windows 10.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and decTalk access32
Hi Dectalk Access32 was originally sold and serviced by Hinter Joice, which is now Freedom scientific. But I doubt that it is still available from them. There was also a version sold by GW Micro, the makers of WindowEyes. But JAWS quit allowing that version to be used somewhere around Jaws 11 or Jaws 12. Dectalk Access32 from Freedom Scientific works fine in Windows XP. But as far as I know, it will not work on any subsequent version of Windows, (Vista, 7 8 or 10). So I'm a little surprised that it is still available in JAWS 16 and 17, which cannot be used with Windows XP.
