Title: Re: Rant Generator
According to the OS 10.6 AS documentation someone pointed us to, 'speaking rate' and 'pitch' as keywords (without the "[[ ]]" stuff as quoted text in your first example) are new to OS 10.6, and work, as you say. It will not compile in 10.5.8 (which I have).
The terminology in the first example, with the "[[ ]]" stuff, compiles and runs in 10.5.8. But there, it behaves as I previously reported and you are now reporting also for 10.6: the "[[rate]]" is modified, but not "[[pitch]]". This must be the old terminology: perhaps someone can say whether "[[pitch]]" ever worked in some yet earlier OS before 10.5 - it certainly does not in 10.5.8 - or , you say, 10.6.
If you're in 10.6, you should stuck to the new terminology. If you're trying to use the older terminology, that would only be for compatibility with older OS's, and then you'd better skip "[[pitch]]" altogether since it doesn't work in 10.5.x or 10.6.

This is odd,
--using this construct I can change the rate, but not the pitch.
say "[[pitch 50]][[rate 350]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 60]][[rate 350]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 70]][[rate 350]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 80]][[rate 350]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 50]][[rate 200]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 60]][[rate 400]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 70]][[rate 350]]OMG. OH"
say "[[pitch 80]][[rate 600]]OMG. OH"
--but using this construct I can change both:
say "OMG. OH" pitch 50 speaking rate 200
say "OMG. OH" pitch 60 speaking rate 350
say "OMG. OH" pitch 70 speaking rate 400
say "OMG. OH" pitch 80 speaking rate 600
say "OMG. OH" pitch 50 speaking rate 600
say "OMG. OH" pitch 60 speaking rate 350
say "OMG. OH" pitch 70 speaking rate 400
say "OMG. OH" pitch 80 speaking rate 200
What's up with that?
