[access-uk] TTS, naturally speaking conversion details

I've been prompted by the thread on TTS to ask whether one has much control 
over the process of conversion of text to speech with these programs.

What I have in mind is whether you can adjust pauses between sentences, 
paragrapsparagraphs and so on.  That sort of adjustment makes the reading of 
lists via such methods that bit more intelligible.  Wonder if some control over 
how numbers are converted is available too?

I've been minded to ask this as I heard quite an impressive example of this 
approach to getting text into speech for those lacking a computer, and he 
claimed that this sort of thing was possible, hence me asking those here with 
experience here this question.  For many sorts of document this is obviously 
quite a neat and quick solution to providing accessible text on tape or CD, 
hence my interest.

Comments very welcome.
