I know there is a setting in synthesizer options to fix it so Eloquence doesn't drop down while reading long lines. The pitch seems to lower quite a bit and I think, if I remember correctly, it might have something to do with a frequency setting. Should this setting be put to a lower or higher number than the default setting to make the pitch more stable? Thanks. By the way I'm using the new Jaws 5 and XP.
