I, too, have found that the elevation of the voice pitch was unsatisfactory, but it's also true that the elevation of the pitch seems to depend on which letter is the one capitalized. I'm sure that somewhere in the lines of code that controls the synthesizer, there has to have been a parameter that causes the pitch to shift, so it has to be possible to change that parameter. Perhaps it would take the owners of Eloquence to do it, but I'm betting it wouldn't take a whole lot of effort to accomplish it. Do you think it might be worth writing to them? Maybe there's even something the end-user might access with some direction from the company. You never know for sure unless you ask.

This is not a good thing. I will try the beeper script but I don't like running ever more and more vb scripts just to have basic screen reader functions available. I will let you know how it turns out.

We offer the 60 day evaluation version so people can have access to everything Window-eyes has to offer, including the premium synthesizers. If the pitch change isn't enough, perhaps installing the third party cap beeper app. https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Apps/Download/?scriptid=1216 This makes a beep when you move across a capital letter. You can even use a different sound if you don't like the beep the author included.

I havent found it in WindowEyes Settings yet though. Some speech operations are still slightly sluggish even with Eloquence which I have to attribute to WindowEyes itself from past experience. That said I am asking about how to improve the speech settings including the pitch change for capitalization - I am pretty sure that is doable but not sure WindowEyes has a setting to do it, we will see. I just dropped 40 bucks to get Eloquence so I hope WindowEyes takes advantage of its feature set. The slight lag times are annoying but not so bad that I will dump WindowEyes all be it I am disapointed so far with WindowEyes performance with a hot synth like Eloquence. But, as mentioned, I will ask on list how to tweak settings to see if I can get things working well enough to not be a constant hassle using WindowEyes. Wish I could have given WindowEyes and Eloquence a glowing congratulations out of the box but it is what it is.
