Hmmm. What if you set the speech rate manually? If you go into
Library/Preferences there is a file called com.apple.VoiceOver.plist. If
you edit this file with a text editor you can find a line that says
<key>SCRVoiceRate</key> and right after that is a line that says
<real>x.y</real> where x.y is some number. Setting this to 0.5 is really
slow while numbers above 2.0 is really fast. You'll have to stop and
start VO for the changes to go into effect. If you mess things up you
can go back into the VO utility and set the value back. 100 on the VO
utility equals 1.0 in the plist file.

Hehe that's funny I thought I was the only one who thought VO speech
was too slow. I have amusingly enough had a few instances where by
some strange happening my voiceover speech did get turbocharged past
the 100 mark, though those times were rare, accidental and they didn't
last long. I don't really even know how they came about.

Good afternoon,
Is there a hack to increase the Voiceover speech rate past 100?
Thanks,
