Re: [orca-list] Patch: Experimental eSpeak support using python-espeak

[Zahari Yurukov <zahari yurukov gmail com>]

Hi again,
actually, I'm wrong about pauses - i just slowed down the rate a little
and there is indeed a short pause.
But may be it's a good time to discuss the rate again. Actually, I
remember there was a discussion on the espeak's general list a while ago.
I think that there should be an easier way to increese the max rate than
editing speech-dispatcher configuration files or editing Orca's source code.
Increesing the default max rate is another matter, but why not - if you
want slower rate - don't set it to 100%.
I know many people for who even 390wpm is very fast, but it was fast for
me too - when I firstly began to use ESpeak - I just addapted to a
faster rates.
