[g-a-devel]Re: gnome-speech + festival backend speed ...

Hey Michael,


This is a Gnopernicus problem-- they're defaulting to 80 words per 
minute.  I've asked them to change that to something sane like 200 WPM.  
Basically, the speech is now configureable in input/output/speech.  The 
various voice have to be configured separately, but we've suggested 
having a default that will set them all in one go.
