Subject: Re: question about DECtalk express voices and pitch
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2004 07:48:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001701c49662$edfb0930$0200a8c0@haneyhbmu5pv2g> (raw)

The problem is that the "pitch" value is initialized before the "voice"
value, and the voice value modifies pitch.  When you type a capital letter,
it resets it back to the default pitch because it is returning from a
capital letter.
The fix is to take the line in speakup_dectlk.c dealing with pitch and put
it after, rather than before, voice.
