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.
