I would like to weigh in here. Yes, espeak as a synth does support pitch changes as I can do all the pitch changes I want with speakup. I can't remember how to do this now, but I remember in the past being able to get emacspeak to sound different pitches when reading a line of text but could never get emacspeak to speak single characters in a different pitch when capitalized. This not only works in speakup on a native console, but it also works with Orca using speech dispatcher. So I don't know if it is the tcl speech driver for espeak or what. I also would love to have pitch reflect capital letters instead of hearing "capital" all the time. On Sat, May 16, 2015 at 04:43:05PM +0200, Florian Beijers wrote: > Hi, > > Currently, I use eSpeak.
