You're right. that's a good start. Now what they need to do is to
add about five more speeds, or increase the speed for each level
between one and five. It's always better to have the speed faster
than what you think you would like. Chances are some one else (like
me) will. If it's too fast, we can always slow it down. If it's too
slow, even on the high speed, there's nothing we can do.

Well I never thought I'd be a speed listener, and when you think of it, the
super fast speech does sound kind of ugly, but it's the utility of being
able to rip on through a document or book fast that got me inching up the
speed. Now I run jaws fairly fast -- faster for stuff I'm familiar with,
and it's interesting how you stop hearing individual words -- it's like the
information on the page kind of flows into your head. Now before I started
using screen readers, I used to listen to blind friends and wonder what the
heck made it possible for them to make heads or tails of their rapid fire
synth. Necessity makes a lot of things possible. You normally don't think
of disabilities that way.

I never did like fast synthesized speech. I have DecTalk set to 25 and
that's fast enough for me. I have the BSP's speech set to 5. I slowed down
the BookSense's speech to 4 or 5.
If a human voice reads too slowly, I'll kick it up one notch faster.
