Subject: speakup: lower default software speech rate
From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit cfd757010691eae4e17acc246f74e7622c3a2f05 upstream.
Speech synthesis beginners need a low speech rate, and trained people
want a high speech rate. A medium speech rate is thus actually not a
good default for neither. Since trained people will typically know how
to change the rate, better default for a low speech rate, which
beginners can grasp and learn how to increase it afterwards
This was agreed with users on the speakup mailing list.
