speech rate and key skipping problem

["Shaji Mathew" <smats@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends,
I had installed and was using Emacspeak on RedHat 7.1
on a system having "creative " sound card
I was so happy with Emacspeak
that  I wanted  to share this happiness with a friend of mine

For this  friend, I tried to install Emacspeak
on a system with built in sound card, Linux Redhat 7.2
and ViaVoice TTS.
Testing ./runcmdlinespeak gives a fast rated response
I mean, it talks too quick to understand
The same fast speech rate  for "tcl outloud"  test also (at
/emacspeak/servers )
The same thing happens after installing Emacspeak
it talks too fast,
 reducing the speech rate from Emacspeak couldn't help much

also Emacspeak skip reading some keys  (like a, d etc )
but get displayed on the screen
but could read together as a word
( we tried even changing the keyboard)

lesstif and tcl is ok

Is this the problem with
stdiosynth?
Viavoice?
Emacspeak (we've tried both tar and rpm installation)?
Soundcard?
Redhat version (7.2)?
or any other settings ?
We are not Linux experts
could somebody please help us?.


Thank you,
S.Mathew
