Hi Kirk Logically then, what you're saying is that 100 should be dectalk's highest pitch if that is the range. However, it is not. I do see how rate was handled, but pitch seems to keep the dectalk-specific values. Therefore, pitch 100 is actually pitch 100 on the dectalk. After changing the pitch range my /proc/speakup stuff, including pitch, still works. As for the rate, it is locked in 0 to 18, not 0 to 100. I don't have a problem with starting at 0, but how can 18 values cover 500 different rates?
