So, here's another dum question for you; why don't you use Eloquence with NVDA?
And yes, 40 with NVDA is fine, while 40 percent with Jaws is also fine with
most people. I have done this before, and at even higher speeds, everybody
liked it.

Hi Jacob. I think between Voice rate of about 68 "25 percent" and about 73 "30
percent". would be the best.

Subject: [blindza] Dumb question relating to recorded audio
tutorials/walkthroughs TTS speed
Just wondering, if I record some or other audio tutorial/walkthrough, including
my screen reader's output, what would a good/suitable/average TTS voice speed
be - for example, I myself keep jaws set to it's speed of roundabout 105, and
NVDA to like 40, since it's my sort of secondary screen reader, and I'm not as
used to hearing the eSpeak synthesizer.
On the other hand, I myself get told I talk too fast when it comes to
explaining technical information, etc. to various people, but anyway...
What it comes down to is just wondering, for something like/similar to a
tutorial/demonstrative podcast, etc., what type of speed do you guys reckon it
would be best to stick to, and I suppose, the speed actually comes down to
something like words per minute/second - and just tested it and seems like NVDA
is running roundabout 8 words per second at the moment, but anyway...
Thoughts?
This is all partly related to why I have been looking into sorting out
recording PC output, and then mixing it with spoken audio as well, but will
leave it at that for now...<smile>
Stay well
