I've never had issue with the default speech rate in Orca and for some reason, Orca+Spacebar refuses to bring up Orca's settings on my system, so I can't check, but two things that come to mind: 1. are you sure 100% is the maximum for whatever setting you changed in Orca's settings? Because, in the context of speech rate, it would be logical for 100% to be the default, not the maximum and that you should be able to crank it up to more than 100% of the default rate. 2. Did you restart Orca, your xsession, or your computer after changing the config files? Programs often only read relevant config files when launched, so editing config files directly instead of using the program's internal settings screen often only takes effect after restarting the program in question, though it can sometimes take a reboot to get the altered config up and running. If I'm not mistaken, bringing up a run dialog(alt+F2 on most graphical setups) and executing orca --replace will restart Orca, though I'm not sure if restarting Orca will be enough for an altered espeak-ng configuration to take effect. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
