Last time this came up, in 2009, I found a hack by editing the voiceover plist settings to go more than normal. Haven't tried it since but maybe it still works:

Hi,

I am new to this group. I have a print disability, dyslexia, and I utilize text-to-speech to read. Recently, I have been turning the speech rate to the highest setting and I would like it to be even faster. I have found it not common for someone with dyslexia to request really high speech rates, but I have read people using voiceover may user faster speech rates. Does anyone know of a way to increase the text-to-speech rate without needing to use voiceover? I do not need a screen reader, but I do need text to be spoken. I didn't read much (just enough to get by) until I got a Mac with the text-to-speech built. I love this future, but just wish the speech rate would go faster as I have a lot of school work I need to read. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Sarah
