Thanks Sam, I tried your exact echo suggestion but even with sudo  I get a 
permission denied. I tried
sudo echo 250 > /sys/accessibility/speakup/dectlk/pitch=113
In addition, since you seemingly have a DecTalk, I need to explain, its more of 
a sing/Song delivery as words are spoken. I think I could manually change pitch 
to 480, but as long as that enflection is set the way we explained, then I am 
happy with 113, but would also like the rate to `stay at 229 and volume to 
remain at 86 whether I reboot  or are arrowing through lines of text. But for an 
unknown reason these values drop suddenly until I go to the insert pannel. 
Unfortunately no1 has figured out a way to track or log what Speakup or this U S 
B DecTalk are receiving when these drops occur. I hope short of my talking with 
you live, that I am explaining these challenges. Thanks so much in advance
Chime
