Hi,

A quick follow-up to my message will help clarify things if you don't
mind please.
When I mentioned what settings should have been changed with the frame
settings, you should change them with the Adam voice. Then if there is
a way that this could work with the David voice, or if these settings
could be modified to work with the David voice, this would create a
nice change that I think users will like.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi,

Right now I'm running a portable copy of NVDA on a very old revision
of Speech Player so I can do some testing and experimentation. I was
running this old version and decided to do some hard testing with the
frame settings in the voice settings dialog.

I think that the David voice needs to be changed a little in the
latest revision. For those of us who have regularly used Eloquence, I
have made almost an exact imitation of the voice Rocco. I think that
this should be what David sounds like.

Here are the settings:
Frame.VoicePitch and Frame.EndVoicePitch sliders: 45
Frame.CF1, Frame.CF2, Frame.CF3, Frame.CF4, Frame.CF5, Frame.CF6, all
of these sliders should be set to 40.

Now when you change the regular pitch of the voice using the pitch
slider you can choose and make it sound more like Rocco.

This may make it easier to understand the David voice.

Thanks,

Brandon
