OK, sounds like you might not be taking full advantage of what the speakupconf tool can do. Let's start with your pitch. Set it to 113 which seems to be what you would like it to be at. Then run: speakupconf save as root. Now, when you run speakupconf load, your pitch should be at 113. Keep in mind that when you set speech parameters through synth_direct, they aren't guaranteed to be in effect, since speakup can reset your dectalk to speakup's values. I don't know what your inflection setting corresponds to in speakup, but I'm guessing it would be either freq, or tone. I doubt the values speakup takes for those settings go up to 250, but you can maybe figure that out by looking at the speakup_dectlk.c driver like you did for the rate, or you can set them with: echo 5 >/sys/accessibility/speakup/dectlk/freq and echo 5 >/sys/accessibility/speakup/tone where 5 should be replaced with the number you want. Try experimenting with those to see how high they go for you. You can read them back with: cat /sys/accessibility/speakup/dectlk/freq and cat /sys/accessibility/speakup/tone If one of those gets your inflection to where you want, then just run: speakup save and your problems will hopefully go away. If this doesn't bring your inflection to where you want, then someone would have to figure out which speakup parameter corresponds to inflection, and see if the driver can be modified to set inflection to the value you need from speakup itself. I believe that Oakash has a dectalk to work with, and he is familiar with speakup's code. If that's correct, then maybe this is something Oakash would be able to look into, and fix.
