Hi

I found a way to make espeak faster with window-eyes-for-office 8.4. Go into the control panel, into synthesizer and choose sapi5 but before you do this be sure to go to www.espeak.sf.net/test/latest.html and get the latest windows version of espeak. install it if you want klat4 in the edit boxes where you can enter languages type en-us+klatt4 for spanish mexican you would type es-la+klatt4 or if you want the male7 variant en-us+m7 or es-la+m7 those are examples. check the use this as a backup synthesizer, then choose it, and choose to keep settings. and now go to screen and turn the rate all the way up to 9 or as high as it will go. in the program files x86 folder under espeak and in espeak data then go into voices then go into the !v folder and if you open up the variant or variants you installed such as m7 in notepad you can modify settings like change the pitch range to add more inflection and change formant qualities and things. also I think if you put something like

fasttest 500

at the bottom it will upon restarting widnow-eyes make the sapi5 espeak talk really really fast just like eloquence talks. espeak sapi5 is open source so feel free to play around and have fun but make a backup synth choice in case you really mess something up and have to reinstall sapi5 espeak. it would be cool if there were a window-eyes advanced espeak app that let us get access to and make changes to espeak voice files and we could hear the results of our changes in eal-time and even make new voices for it if we wished. including intonation functions like the s1 q1 and so on. espeak is a very powerful open source formant synthesizer and gw-micro set it up a certain way without really expounding on all of espeak's capabilities. perhaps they did this to encourage us to buy eloquence or dectalk instead and you can still do that. but guys trust me if you play around with the voice variants files you can tweak espeak and make it sound just the way you like. I did it before its fun. please make an app somebody to let us really tweak espeak to our heart's content.
Josh
