The behavior of falling pitch has been around for a long time.However, you can stop the language change by going to browse mode and languages, and telling Window-Eyes not to change automatically. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: Grant E. Metcalf To: gw-info Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 12:24 AM Subject: speech and pitch question
I have noticed especially on the web, I am using IE, that when a page starts reading or I page down the speech about halfway through the screen begins slowing down somewhat and the voice pitch gets lower and lower. Less frequently this also happens when reading long passages in NotePad or WordPad as well. I do not remember this happening that much in 7.2 I did set the pitch and rate I prefer. Is there something more I should do to improve this problem? Additionally, I have noticed some changes in pronunciation of words which I never modified in the dictionary. And now that I think of it, a couple of times the voice seemed to develop an unusual accent while in the process of reading as well. Just a couple of observations. Thanks for listening!
