I am looking for freeware that would do the following with recorded
sentences:


Change the pitch to make a sentence into a question

Eliminate background noise

Move words around in the sentence

Try to "normalize" the flow (eliminate choppiness)


One more (could be off topic):

Software, freeware or otherwise, that I could input recordings to
train the software. Then have email, etc., read back to me in that
voice. I know this one may be a longshot.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks Joe you've been very helpful.

Actually that was a good one. I see that Wave Pad has added new
features so I'm going to give it a try.

X-No-archive: yes

Actually, I downloaded and installed WavePad, and for some reason it didn't
work. Specifically, I tried to play a wave file, and it wouldn't play. This
is not to say that another user, with perhaps different hardware or a
different OS (I'm using Windows 2000), might not have better results.

A freeware digital audio editing program with which I have had more luck is
Audacity, which is available at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ .

I just tried Audacity and it's pretty good. If you change the pitch,
speed or tempo too much it gets kind of garbled. It's better than Wave
Pad though.

Thanks.
