Text-to-Speech question

[Barry Levine]

Are there any properties or functions that I can use to query Rev for 
the following speech details:

What is the currently chosen voice? (revSetSpeechVoice -sets- it)

...speed? (revSetSpeechSpeed -sets- it)

...pitch? (revSetSpeechPitch -sets- it)

revSpeechVoices seems to be the only function but, of course, that 
returns -every- available voice.

I guess this is part of the wishlist for the next version.

BTW - the ability to have speech synthesis bundled into Rev rather than 
having to rely upon those bozos at Microsoft (for the Windows side of 
things) would also be greatly appeciated. I know about how Microsoft 
seems to break everything in their efforts to totally obfuscate any 
development tools other than their own, so it seems to me that an 
"end-around" might be in order. Of course, it's easy for me to say to 
C++ folks, "Go do it." while I haven't a clue about how difficult it 
might be. I guess I'm spoiled having worked with Macs and -always- 
having Macintalk available to me.
