Samuel, I haven't found the default espeakup speed too fast.  The trouble I
had was getting used to its pronunciation at the beginning.  And I'm not one
of these speed demons I envy.  :-)

Subject: Lowering default espeakup speed?

Hello,

We are getting contradictory feedback from users:

- a lot of them find espeakup too fast
- a lot of them find it too slow

so I'm wondering whether the current default speed (the average) is really a
good default value.  People who want fast speed are usually also those who
are able to find in the documentation how to request speed increase, while
those who prefer a slow speed are often beginners who have no clue about
such things.  So the idea would be that the default would be a "welcoming"
slow speed, which people would be able to increase at will along getting
used to it.

What do people think about it?

Samuel
