No, it's quite faster. As said in the title, I mean the default espeakup speed :) (rated 5 there) From what I read in the espeakup source, that'd be espeak -s 254. It indeed hears so in my ears. I was thinking about espeakup rate 2 or 3, which are -s 152 and -s 186. > This one should be ok, since it's already very slow.
