The latest CVS versions of Speakup have additional keys for changing pitch, rate and volume. from the console now. Just use speakup-1 thru speakup-6 to change them. no tone or voice here. Any way, we're close. The speakupconf script that can be found in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/speakup can save and restore speech settings and is sensative to which synth is being used at the time.
