Re: [orca-list] Function "increase the speech rate" issue

Well, if app specific settings were not restricted to the application then they'd be global prefs...smile
I can see a point in making on the fly changes global across the board as they usually are, but honestly for 
speed, pitch, etc I think there is a strong 
case for restricting them to the ap, or maybe even window at hand.
I often want to listen to a certain type of content much slower than my normal rate to catch technical 
details, or enjoy and better understand a novel 
or fictional short story. I wold not want to have to readjust my voice if I had to take a break to check 
email. 
There are many ways to do things, and I've installed a 2nd editor that I don't use much just to use app 
specific prefferences to have it read slower, 
with different punctuation settings, etc, etc.
The thing I'm still not hearing about however is whether other folks have apps where the on the fly change 
does not work like is the case for me with LO 
writer.
