Re: [orca-list] Espeaks speed limitation in orca

[Jacob Schmude <j schmude gmail com>]

Hi
This is actually espeak's default speed limitation, nothing to do with  
Orca. There is a way to make espeak go faster, and was discussed  
fairly recently on this list. The author of that post has since  
expanded it in a blog entry, see here:

Believe me, I know what you mean about the speed of espeak. It's just  
too slow by default, I set mine at around 530 wpm, and its default max  
is 390 wpm.

   The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a  
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot  
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to  
get at or repair.
