To
use
and enjoy Say
,
you
don
'
t need to learn
all
the rules
of
phonetics.
However,
since phonetic spelling
is
based
on
how
words
sound
rather than
how
they are
conventionally spelled, you
should
think
in
terms of
sounds used
in
pronunciation
rather
than spelling. At the same time
watch
how
Say spells
different
words
(or
sounds) in
the phoneme
window. A
good dictionary
will
be
helpful
for
looking up the pronunciation
of words you are
uncertai
n about.
You can change
the
voice,
pitch
and
speed
of your Amiga
's
s
pe~ch
by choosing
different
options
in the phoneme
window.
You have
a choice of
male
,
female,
robot or
natural
voice. Select
the
voice you
want by
typing the appropriate
code
below
the
phoneme
window and
pressing the Return
key:
m
for
male
voice
f
for female voice
r
for robot voice
n
for
natural
voice
When
you change
the
voice, you must also
change the pitch
for it
to have
an
effect.
To change
the pitch
of
the
voice,
in
the
phoneme
window
type
p followed by
a
number
from
65 through
320 and
press
the Return
key. The
higher the
number
you
type, the higher the voice
's
pitch
will
be.
To change
the
speed of
the voice
,
in the phoneme
window type
s
followed by a
number
of 40
through
400. The
higher
the
number
yo
u
type, the
faster the
voice
speaks
.
To close Say,
just move the pointer into
the
Input
window, activate the window
by
clicking
the
Selection
button
and
then
press
the Return
key without typing
any
words first.
