Hi Phil, Yes, there is a 4-letter embedded speech command for setting baseline pitch, "pbas", and there is 4-letter embedded speech command for modulating pitch, "pmod". You'll have to read through the guide for details of how each command works, and to get an overview of the basic principles of customizing speech. They also give example of how to adjust pronunciation of words.
