Hello,
Hey Jane. Thanks a bunch for contacting Apple Accessibility and for
posting that link. I started to read it and there really is a lot of
stuff to go through. Now you can really call it a night!.

Hi Jane:
Check out this site for information on how to embed commands into
the text to speed it up or change other attributes:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/SpeechSynthesisProgrammingGuide/index.html
Embedded commands are described in the section titled "Techniques
for Customizing Synthesized Speech" - > "Use Embedded Speech
Commands to Fine-Tune Spoken Output.
For example, to set the rate of the spoken text to 300 words per
minute use something like:
"[[rate 300]] This text should be spoken fast."
