Speech-Dispatcher Issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you.  I will subscribe to the list.  The ibmtts-generic.conf file 
came with the Voxin package but I did as you said and used the one that 
was included with SD.  It appears to function better.  Now, the pitch 
only increases when I arrow over a link and only stays raised over a 
link.  I think this is something that I can resolve in Orca preferences. 
  Also, I can't seem to be able to adjust punctuation parameters - I am 
getting no punctuation and Orca and Speech-Dispatcher are set to most.
