Description remus draica 2004-08-19 08:23:55 UTC 
For a speaker using festival, the pitch and volume cannot be set.

Start test-speech program from gnome-speech/test directory. Select festival
driver and choose first voice. Select change parameter option. Only rate
parameter will be displayed.

why is this marked AP2?  Is this such a serious issue?
Comment 3 remus draica 2004-08-30 14:39:55 UTC 
This is a part of a bug marked as AP2. Probably is not an AP2. I agree with you
to change the priority.

Apologies for spam-- ensuring Sun a11y team are cc'ed on all current a11y bugs.
 Filter on "SUN A11Y SPAM" to ignore.
Comment 7 bill.haneman 2005-05-06 16:46:25 UTC 
festival driver shouldn't report 'pitch' and 'volume' as changeable parameters
if we don't actually implement them as editable.  I'd be inclined to consider
the reporting of 'volume' and 'pitch' in this driver as bugs, and the request
for pitch and volume change support as an RFE.

Comment 9 Willie Walker 2006-07-12 13:04:13 UTC 
The availability of voice parameters for festival voices is dependent upon the voice.  After some experimentation, here's a way to modify the average pitch of the kal_diphone voice:

festival> (set! int_lr_params '((target_f0_mean 185) (target_f0_std 14) (model_f((target_f0_mean 185)_std 34)))
 (target_f0_std 14)
 (model_f0_mean 170)
 (model_f0_std 34))
festival> (SayText 'hello) 

Since I believe "int_lr_params" is most likely a convention, experimentation with other voices will be necessary to see if it is more widely used.  

BTW, I checked with test-speech, and festival is only offering up "rate" as a parameter.  I don't see pitch or volume appearing, so either the bug of presenting unsupported parameters never existed or it has been fixed.
Comment 10 Akhil Laddha 2011-10-14 10:50:37 UTC 
gnome-speech development has been stalled and it has been replaced by speech-dispatcher [1]. Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX.
