1"mersaydees" depending on regional pronunciation.7The replacement may be used as an abbreviation expander.as well.

4generated.  This is a matter of personal preference.4Pitch - The overall level of the pitch.

If the7output device is of such limited response that a Volume7setting of 9 is required for audibility, it is probably7advisable to secure a more sensitive output device.  If6your output device has a volume control, it is best to	5set it to the middle of it's range and then increment
7or decrement Monologue's volume level in concert with thardware control.7Changes to the Pitch setting can have dramatic effects.7The default value uses Monologue's internal pitch adjus4algorithms based upon the punctuation and context of4the text.  Selections of other values will result in0monotonic output which might not be pleasing forextended listening. 'SET GLOBAL SPEECH PARAMETERS - Overview(Setting the Default Monologue Parameters 
