@NVAccess@fosstodon.org I have a question for you guys! Someone created a newer version of DecTalk and there's something called sentence pause and comma pause! So I was wondering what that's supposed to do?

    @cub80_appleby@mastodon.stickbear.me Not sure, you'd likely have to try it (or ask the add-on developer). It may control how much it pauses for commas or for the end of a sentence. That is usually handled by the synth. So, for instance, in NVDA"s punctuation / symbol pronunciation dialog (run through from the blog here: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/in-process-30th-april-2021/#SymbolPronunciation ) - one of the options for each symbol is “Send actual symbol to synthesizer”. If you do that with commas / full stops etc, it will pause, if you DON'T, then they won't pause

    @cub80_appleby@mastodon.stickbear.me @NVAccess@fosstodon.org think of it as wait factor in vocalizer, the lowest setting is where there are no pauses, and the highest setting is where it pauses for at least 5 seconds. That's my asumption for the new dectalk synth
