Hi, I just tried this and it worked fantastic, except that the rate is way too slow, and the command line to bring the rate up didn't work for me.
Is there a fix for this? I really need to bump the speed up a smidgin. Alex is so slow that I can hear artifacts in the audio from the system trying to stretch the syllables.
