Hi everybody, I think Jean-Philippe and Richard both wanted to have bit more granular control of the speech rate. Jean-Philippe proposed using a slider. I originally had a slider, but I discovered that slider accessibility is poor, at least in older Android Talkback that I have. Instead, I could add a 6th choice, custom, where you could enter a decimal value between 1-10, let's say 3.5 for instance. How does that sound? It only affects the self-voicing speed, VoiceOver/Talkback speech rate I cannot change. Best regards, Harri
Hey Harry. Custom is good. But maybe you could replace the normal switch by the custom switch, one might not need so many choices if there is a custom one. It’s just that the normal speed is a little slow to my taste, but everyone’s taste is different in that matter I believe.

I think either have custom as the first option, or perhaps the only option so there isn't so many choices to wade through. But, yes, having the ability to say 3.5 or 7.5, whatever, would be excellent! Richard, "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."
