Sure, I was just commenting on the rest. See my mail date Fri, 17 Apr
2020 03:12:11 +0200 about including it as a parameter.

Yes: the screen reader can't do much if the synthesizer doesn't support
good inflection. It can not make the synthesizer magically change its
behavior if the synthesizer itself doesn't support it.

The question was not whether they would tune it or not, but about
knowing it was existing at all. I simply had no idea this notion
was existing at all in synthesizers, since I have basically zero
actual practice of speech synthesizer. Why am I working on speakup
then? Frankly, when I read messages like yours, I do wonder. I just
happened to go by and see that speakup needed help. If it's not welcome
I can just merely leave out speakup as it is. But I don't think that's
what you hoped for? Then like I said, avoid sending the kind of harsh
message you did, I don't see how they can help in any way.

???? ON THE CONTRARY.

I was precisely exactly saying that we should just put the parameter
just along the others, instead of tinkering with synth_direct.
