Hi Susan It's Dectalk Access 32, the software version of Dectalk, that won't work under Windows 7 or Vista. The hardware Dectalk Express works fine in Windows 7. If your computer doesn't have a serial port, like most new computers, you'll have to obtain a USB to serial converter to hook up the Dectalk Express.

I'm glad to hear that you were successful with Dectalk Express as I thought I'd heard that it didn't work with Windows 7 for some reason. I do have it and will try that first. Being able to run Dectalk sounds easier than trying to wade through the FS site to find the right bulletin for the instructions. My head tells me that the process of installing a secondary soundcard should be straightforward enough, but I've made my share of stupid mistakes and don't want to break anything.

A second sound card for JAWS should also work. Instead of unloading JAWS, you can mute it by pressing JAWSkey+space and then pressing s. To unmute JAWS, press JAWSkey+space and then s again. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of susan Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 09:05 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Total Recorder and JAWS Hi Everyone, Using Windows 7 and JAWS 12 with the latest build of Total Recorder, I can’t figure out how to do software recording without also including JAWS speech. On my previous XP system with an older version of TR, I either had to use Dectalk Express or to utilize a registry patch in order to solve this problem. Unfortunately, I have lost this file in migrating to my new system. Besides the obvious solution of unloading JAWS, which I’d prefer not to do unless absolutely necessary, is there a workaround for this problem? Will Dectalk Express work with Windows 7 or is there a total Recorder driver configuration that might be more feasible? I don’t understand a lot of the help files about setting parameters or deciding which drivers I should use. In fact, I’m not even sure which is installed as the default or how to change drivers. Any help or advice would be appreciated, preferrably with step by step directions, although my sighted son is an audio engineer who will at least understand whatever feedback I get. Thank you for your patience.
