Re: [orca-list] rate in espeak

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

The file is in your speech-dispatcher dir as stated in the modules sub-directory. The file is called 
espeak.conf, and by default you will not have one 
in your home dir in many cases, but when you do it will be in ~/.config normally.
Note that there are three settings, so you will likely want to raise all three values so that the increments 
between each percent rate change are not 
too large. 
I really think the default rates are too low for enough users that they should probably be raised, and while 
I know some folks do listen to pretty slow 
speech I have never heard of anyone who uses the lowest 20% or so. 
For distros and or configurations that use espeakup for console speech you will need to recompile changing 
values in espeak.c to get faster speech in 
VT-consoles. 
Use the default rate setting in  speechd.conf to change the rate used by self voicing aps that directly call 
on espeak. The comments in the filoes I 
mention are good and explain the various values.
