Re: [orca-list] Increase/decrease speaking rate



No Problem.

Out here, the weather reached 86 F.

Anything more, then I'll have outdoor omelet.

My apology. I'll go back again and look at that message. I may have misread. I was kind of out of it earlier when I wrote that reply, maybe it's just the weather. At any rate, let me go back, as I did indeed keep your message, and I'll read through it again more thoroughly.

By default, in my system, the shortcut key for that particular function is not set. That's why I sent you instruction to set them up. Afterward, you could use your keyboard shortcut to change the rate on the fly.

In my system, I just press Ctrl + Shift + } to uncrease and Ctrl + Shift + [ to decrease speech rate

You kind of misunderstood my question.


I totally understand entirely how to go about doing this through the Orca main window with Orca+Space, and then following the directions you outlined.


What I'm trying to do however is to increase or decrease the rate on the fly without for the need of going all that long about way opening the Orca window, tabbing around, etc. I'm wanting one keystroke that regardless the window I'm in will speed up the rate, and another that will speed it down.


For example, in Windows with JAWS, alt+CTRL+Page up will speed up the speech, and alt+CTRL+page down will slow it down.


I'm looking for anĀ  equivalent to that with Orca so I don't have to go all the way in to that screen just to accomplish that one little thing. It might be useful if I want to change other settings while at it, but if all I need is to bump the rate up or down, then that method opening the window just seems a little bit over kill to me, not to mention a bit tedious.

Yes, you need to open Orca preferences ( <Orca Modifier> + Space)

  • Press Right until reach Key Bindings
  • Press Tab twice and you're in key binding list
  • Press down arrow until you find row "Increase speech Rate" or "Decrease speech rate"
  • Press Right to go to key binding column, press Enter and then press your desired shortcut keys.


Hope that helps

Is there a way, on the fly without having to go into the Orca window, that I can, with a single keyboard shortcut, increase or decrease the speaking rate?
