MessageKevin,

JAWS is supposed to drop in pitch over long passages to indicate that it is 
approaching an end-of-something boundary, like the end of a page. It will drop 
in pitch but no change in the speed.

  There are times in JAWS versions below 9 where a long read will cause the 
voice  to drop in pitch progresssively while not slowing down the number of 
syllables spoken.  What causes that when it happens?

    James:
    Well, you may want to look in the properties of your low end card to see if 
there is something that is locking the sample rate.  It really sounds like the 
sample rate isn't chaning at the right time.  Do you have other system sounds 
playing when you open a program or anything?  Many of the windows system sounds 
are recorded at 22.5 khz while jaws is at 11khz.  Also, you may want to try 
switching jaws over to use a sapi voice to see if that solves the problem.

      Hi Gord,
      I'm using Asio but my card for Sonar 7.0 is using the delta 8 channel LT, 
and  the low end  card is for Jaws. So I don't think that this should have 
anything to do with the drivers with Sonar.

      Well, that is weird, and it doesn't happen to me at all.  It does sound 
like some setting on your card is causing the sample rate to change.  Are you 
using asio or wdm drivers.

        Hi Gord, this is coming from the on board sound card, and only when I 
load Sonar 7 for the first time.
        after the introductions and welcome then Jaws behaves normally.
        If I load Jaws 8.0, this doesn't happen at all.

        James:
        it sounds like your using jaws out of a sound card with a fixed sample 
rate such as your delta card.  Since most of the high end cards will not down 
sample to 11khz, which is the sample rate used by eloquence, this would most 
likely occur.  Mae sure that Jaws is using your low end sound card.

          Hi all,

          Well David Pinto must have a sense of humor.

          After the installation of CT7 and Jaws 9.0 with the latest update, 
when running Sonar 7, Jaws sounds like a cassette player playing at three times 
the speed on fast forward. This is to effect the pitch as well.

          Anyway to slow Jaws down?

          James

            If I know the song, how does one search for the artist? I tried the 
CDDB database but was extremely unlucky.
