The trouble I had was getting used to its pronunciation at the beginning. And I'm not one of these speed demons I envy. :-) Al -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Samuel Thibault Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 10:13 AM To: debian-accessibility@lists.debian.org; speakup@braille.uwo.ca 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?
