Partly, since I primarily use NVDA to either test certain things, or use it to
specifically read afrikaans etc., with the eSpeak voices, but otherwise, I am
running a relatively recent version of NVDA, so don't think that one would,
off-hand work with jaws 13's eloquence synthesizer, but, main thing now is that
while newish NVDA, I stick to only portable implementations thereof, so,
simple, quick and easy since it's really only my secondary screen reader - but,
yes, have all the respect in the world for it...<smile>

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.

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>
