I see what is going on here. The voice proc entry only appears with some synth choices. When I looked before, I had my serial Speakout connected and no voice parm; when I switched to sftsyn, then the voice parm appeared and it was 0. I echoed 3 to it and Callie came on sexxy as ever. So I'll be moving on to get the other speech parameters working for Cepstral. I still need to see about fixing the defaults or at the very least documenting such. I must say however, Espeak is much more responsive but it is fun to get these finer voices working for variety sake:). Thanks for all the help.
