hi

I'm so sorry, I keep forgetting to break my messages up into smaller
chunks, even though I keep reminding myself to do just that. My main
reasoning for posting this hear instead of the speech-dispatcher list is
because I wasn't sure if it was an orca issue or a speech-dispatcher one.

To answer your questions, the varient issue affects both espeak standard
and espeak ng.

The espeak ng driver does work, but again, the pitch issue is a little
odd. I know that's not very specific, but at the end of a phrase,
specifically when orca is approaching the end of something it's
speaking, the pitch will jump several octaves, and then immediately
returns to the pitch it was set to.

> From now on I'll make sure to double post, both to this list and to the
speech-dispatcher list. I have no excuse for not doing so, the address
is in my mail client's memory so it's just a few characters away.


Thanks
Kendell Clark
