-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Can you explain these parms a bit? Curious minds want to know. How did you come by the particular numeric values you did? One other observation I'm noticing with DECtalk; When speech-dispatcher first says "Software synth found," the DEC is at something like Double pitch or some such. I have to set a lower pitch to get the voice to sound right for the rest of the session. I'm running Slackware 10.1 with the default compiler gcc 3.3.4. This sounds like a problem reported back with earlier versions of Redhat if I recall. Any ideas about the high pitch deal? Thanks.
