The capital issue has been fixed for a very long time. I'm guessing you're using some distro package that has not been updated. Nowadays, the espeak server indicates capitals with a pitch rise, like many other things do. With very recent emacspeak, it's pretty easy to set the espeak language. In fact, if you have en_US or en_US.UTF8 in your locale settings, it'll default to the "US" voice. There are a couple ways to change it: change your LANG environment variable (used by everything on the system), change the LANGUAGE environment variable (only used by emacspeak servers), or use the dtk-set-language Emacs Lisp function. But all this presumes you have the newest emacspeak, 45.0, or a version checked out from git. As for volume, the espeak server never modifies this; it just uses eSpeak's default. In fact, as of right now, there's no way to modify any synthesizer's volume directly from emacspeak. The eSpeak library does let one change the volume, so it would be nice if this was user-adjustable. It would require a few patches, and a new command would need to be added to the TTS server protocol. I'm more than willing to write the patches. -- Chris
