getPitch, setPitch

Pitch can be manipulated by nvdaController_getPitch() and nvdaController_setPitch() methods.

getRate, setRate

Rate (speed) can be manipulated by nvdaController_getRate() and nvdaController_setRate() methods.

clientLib.nvdaController_speakText("Rate is  %s . now changes"%oldRate)
time.sleep(5)
clientLib.nvdaController_setRate(oldRate-50)
newRate = clientLib.nvdaController_getRate()
clientLib.nvdaController_speakText("Rate changed to %s"%newRate)
time.sleep(5)
clientLib.nvdaController_setRate(oldRate+50)
newRate = clientLib.nvdaController_getRate()
clientLib.nvdaController_speakText("Rate changed to %s"%newRate)
time.sleep(5)
clientLib.nvdaController_setRate(oldRate)
clientLib.nvdaController_speakText("Rate reverted to %s"%oldRate)

speakSpelling

Text can be announced using character descriptions via nvdaController_speakSpelling() method.

import ctypes
DLLPATH = '../newClient/nvdaHelper/build/x86/client/nvdaControllerClient32.dll'
clientLib=ctypes.windll.LoadLibrary(DLLPATH)

	ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0,u"Error: %s"%errorMessage,u"Error communicating with NVDA",0)
for count in xrange(4):
	clientLib.nvdaController_speakSpelling(u"カタカナ ひらがな")
	time.sleep(5)
