Why don’t you support keybindings? Currently, key bindings are very hard to register across arbitrary desktop environments. We will be working on this for the next release. How do I change my speech rate? Your speech rate must be changed in your speech dispatcher settings. This is often in a file called speechd.conf either in your $XDG_HOME directory, or in /etc/speech-dispatcher/. The value you want to change is DefaultRate. It accepts a value between 0 and 100.
