Re: [orca-list] Changing the speed of espeak-ng

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

In that file
/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng.conf
there are options like this...
EspeakMinRate 80
EspeakNormalRate 170
EspeakMaxRate 390

That means the slowest rate speech dispatcher will allow will be 80 wpm, 
the default will be 170 wpm and maximum would be 390 wpm.
I have modified EspeakMaxRate to 550 and that gives me much faster 
speech rates.

I don't know about the inflection but I think it might be possible to 
craft a voice file for espeak with given properties including variant 
and inflection.

Greetings

Peter
