I sent him a private message thinking he would answer but jasondude's been ignoring my questions.

I think we should go elsewhere to find our answers!

All I really want is to know if I can alter the words using "!" or "?" or even make pauses using "," or ":" and ";" to affect the way TTS delivers the sentence?

Is there any special character we can use "IN" Ultra Hal to give more lively or darker tones to the voices (I am not talking about the pitch).

Back in the '90s I had a TTS program on Mac, it used  those characters to affect single words, like the end of a sentence, making it sound like a question or a surprise. I could use "..." and it would really sound like taking a moment (at the end of a sentence) before giving the rest of an answer. (back then we didn't have as much voices thought!)

Thanks you.

Hi Guys and Gals!

I have just started using UHTTS and I need a few pointers (or all of them if you know where I can get them!)

I am using VW Paul, but I guess my question applys to all voices:

What symbol can I use to change the way Ultra Hal speeks words?

What I mean is, when I get to the end of a sentence, it automaticaly speaks the word with a higher pitch. I wanna be able to control that specific action. I tryed putting commas, dots.. even "!" and "?".

The only time I am able to make a difference is when I put a space and a random letter after the end of my sentence to let Ultra Hal speak the word with a lower tone!

But it renders the letter so fast that it interferes with the way I want the speach to be read.

Help me out please.

And thanks in advance.
