It is under the settings choices that are available after pressing Zero.
I guess I would describe it as being similar to saying tone. The voice is not
changed, but the tone of that voice is changed.
I hope that people will agree or give it a better definition. I think it also
can help a lot in making a particular voice clearer and sharper or softer and
less brilliant.

Frequency, don't remember seeing that anywhere.
What is it, and, where is it, and what does it do.

Phil,
For me it's precise Pete, pitch 65, frequency 5 and speed 8 or 9 unless it's
something I need to read very carefully, in which case I drop down to 7. Lou

I have had my book port now for three years plus and I am pleased
with some features and wonder about some others. Obviously the navigation in a
plain text book is just wonderful and even in an audio book is not bad. The
transferring of material from the book port manager to ones unit is even strait
forward enough for a computer neophyte like my self. I think I would give book
port a passing grade if I was ask to.
My only complaint would be the speech engine and I have even gotten kind
of use to that. I do however wonder about the two voices, I think they are
called something like, repeating Robert and echo Eddy, you know the ones. Only
difference I see in them is ones digital repeat is a little faster then the
other. I suppose my question is just this, does anyone really use either of
these voices to read material?
I have settled on perfect Paul at around pitch 65 that seams to be best
for Me to understand. I would be curious as to what voices others use and at
what pitch.
Thanks for your indulgence, an old curmudgeon who's name is, Phil Parr.
