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

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

Well, I didn't get it either. But this is a great tip. It seems to allow 
you to set a keybinding to temporarily change the speaking rate though. 
When I configured the key binding, it worked but as soon as I changed to 
another window the rate went back to where it was before. It still works 
okay though because what I did was to increase the default rateto 90%. I 
had it at 70% because sometimes it has to be that slow. But now, if I am 
listening to something that is difficult to understand, I can 
temporarily decrease the rate and it will automatically go bak to 
speaking really fast when I switch windows. Should work great.
