Hello All, This email should probably be sent to Heinek Hanke (excuse any misspellings) but I don't have his email address. Anyways - I set up Speech-Dispatcher on my system to use with Voxin/IBMTTS that I just purchased with Orca. I want to say, first, that I find performance with Speech-Dispatcher to be slightly more responsive than Gnome-Speech. However, there are some issues. With IBMTTS/Voxin, it doesn't appear to be possible to change the rate and other params unless those params were left out of the say line in ibmtts-generic.conf. I emailed the Voxin maintainer regarding this issue. Next, and this issue occurs with Espeak, too: When using Speech-Dispatcher, and I encounter something that is capitalized, the synth remains in a higher-pitched voice and the pitch does not drop back to its original level. I would rather use Speech-Dispatcher because of its performance enhancements but these two issues prevent me from doing so. Can anyone let me know if these are being looked into? Thanks, Robby
