[nvda] Re: ESpeak sapi5

Hi,
I found that changeing the pitch range to minimum 50 and maximum 140 produces a better sounding voice. My next question, what is involved in creating a new language? I don't have any programming knowledge. I just want to use phonetics to make ESpeak sound or have the sounds the language has. If that's possible.

more of a pitch-range when ESpeak talks. For example, I can by
turning the inflection down make infovox sound like a monotone

You can adjust pitch and pitch-range in the voice files, in
C:\Program Files\eSpeak\espeak-data\voices

For example, if you are using the EN voice, then edit the voices\en\en
file.

Add a line:
pitch 82 117

The voices\en\en file already includes this line.  These are the
default values.

Now change the values.  If both numbers are the same, then it will be a
monotone.  Higher values give a higher pitch.  A greater difference
between the values will give a greater pitch range.

If you find a good pair of values that sound better than the defaults,
then let me know.
