Re: [orca-list] just wondering why inflection of espeak is not good in orca?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Krishnakant:

I don't know why the prosody and/or fundamental frequency contour might 
be any different.  Can you given an example sentence that demonstrates 
the issue?  In addition, can you try running the 'espeak' command from 
the command line with the sentence to see if the problem shows up there?

I'm not sure about a female voice for eSpeak.  These voices are listed 
as 'variants' for eSpeak, but they are not being exposed via the 
gnome-speech driver as far as I can tell.  I'm also not sure how to 
determine the available variants via a method call and I'm CC'ing the 
eSpeak folks on this mail in hopes they might be able to help.
