Re: [orca-list] speech parameter keys

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Al:

The snoring beagle site was a staging area and is out of date.  You can 
find the latest docs at 
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/ats-2.html.

For the specific question you have, the functions for changing the 
speech parameters on the fly still exist, but are not bound to any keys 
right now.  You can bind them to key command by going to the "Key 
Bindings" tab of the Orca preferences GUI:

http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/id2970079.html.en

Hope this helps!

Will
