You know, I think Gregg Kearney showd us something similar this year or last--I remember reading something similar then, it just made no sense to me then. It still makes only a little sense, but as I slowly make my way through the stuff, I think it will be more interesting and sensible. I am already thinking of a way I can help a friend make puzzles.

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!.

Did I say I was calling it a night?  Ha!

Excerpted text from my brief, but useful! correspondence with Apple's Accessibility team.

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."
