[Emacspeak] Re: Changing espeak pitch, accent

[Krzysztof Drewniak <krzysdrewniak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Patrick,

If you're looking to change the "accent", you can use dtk-set-lang in order to change the voice variant used by espeak. For example, I use (dtk-set-language "en-us:victor") in my init file because I like that voice better.

As to an absolute pitch control, I haven't added one, but I can look into that if you'd like me to.

Yours,

Krzysztof

Hi Emacspeakers,

Hope you're all having a good weekend. I wanted to ask about changing the voice features like pitch and accent while using Espeak with Emacspeak. It seems there's only one custom variable, which sets the speaking rate. I've been playing around overwriting some functions in the espeak-voices.el, though that doesn't seem like a particularly efficient way to set options. I've searched on this list, and it seems that there's been some discussion of providing a user API for this, but I didn't find much that's actionable. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Best,

Patrick
