While we are on this subject I would like to add a further observation. I have noticed for some years now that if the lower case letter "i" is used as the personal pronoun it quite severely affects the way Eloquence speaks a sentence. It's as if Jaws can't work out how to express it. I don't think it has the same effect on the SAPI voices.
I presume this is a habit developed through the use of texting which is another written language altogether. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 11:36 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Voice changing in JAWS 9 > The pitch of the voice will tend to drop as a result of poor or no > punctuation.
