Re: [orca-list] Speech configuration in Orca

[Rastislav Kish <rastislav kish protonmail com>]

Hello,

spd-say -w -i -100 Hello


produces silence on my system, as I would expect, while using another -i
value properly sets the volume.


In fact, my goal is not to mute the speech, but rather to get it to
lower values.

It's important for some silent audio sources, where the current lowest
setting is.. better than nothing, but still could be quieter.

Though not muted altogether, as I need to use the screenreader.


An interesting thing about the sliders is, that flat review actually
recognizes them properly, just the tab navigation separates the last
digit for some reason.


It's weird.


Best regards


Rastislav
