That's very interesting Sarah. What about the parameters though, like
intonation and pitch. does this use the current pitch, and intonation
settings?

Actually I don't use that any more. I use the say command as it's a lot
more flexible so do this.
1. Create a file using a text editor and save it on your desk top as a txt
file.
2. open up a terminal prompt.
3. type say followed by -f tenth path to the file. it helps if you can
copy and paste the file as it copies the path.
4. type -v then voice name
5. type -r followed by rate.
6. type -o followed by the output file plus the extension aiff
If you want the progress spoken then type --progress.
An example might look like this.
say -f ~/desktop/myfile.txt --progress -v tom -r 350 -o my file.aiff
I then convert with amadeus pro to m4a and add it to iTunes, or upload it
to youmail or line2 or what not.
I can also convert it to m4b as it might or might not be a text book for
class.
Take care.

are there any other parameters that can control the speaking voice when

I know about the [[rate nnn]] parameter.
I'm thinking specifically of the pitch and intonation parameters.
I suppose I should take my own oft spoken advice and do a little
experimentation on my own. But then, I'd have to get upset with myself
for suggesting that I first try to help myself, and then ask the list for
help;-)
