I think Barbera has hit the nail on the head there. The Eloquence part of
Jaws is modelled upon a human speaker. Generally speaking in English speech
the prosody of voice get's lower towards the and of a sentence. If there is
no punctuation this behaviour carries on, and the virtual speaker is running
out of breath. This is probably why you are experiencing this phenomena.

The voice gets lower as it reads down the page, and returns to normal when it starts reading the second page, and so on.

I'm very curious to know? When I am reading a long text with JAWS, the reading voice seems to get lower in tone, and not stay static at the same pitch.
Does anyone have any idea why this should happen?
