Listening to text with JAWS and reproducing it simultaneously: 3 specific questions
I assume you are talking about something like a phone script for a call center or the like. If so I suspect that is a tough one. I might suggest you find some list dedicated to simultaneous language t

encoding characters when translating jaws scripts

Beta and Eloquence
I haven't tried the beta but in prior versions you only got the pitch control if you change the 'Voice Adjust' combo to something other than 'All contexts'.
