All of the emacspeak stuff came from T.V. Raman, so if you understand
emacspeak internals, you should be well over half way there.  :-)

The basic idea is to set up a bunch of subjective stuff (average pitch,
stress, pitch range, etc.) for each voice in src/orca/outloud.py. Joanie
did a bunch of work in src/orca/dectalk.py which you be able to use as
an example.  

I think it will be just sheer tedious work to get it done, and it will
require someone who has IBMTTS installed (which I don't have).  If you
manage to get things working, we'll definitely roll the new tables in
for a future release of Orca.

Hope this helps,

Will
