I have seen no indication of it telling me. Also , how do I increase the speech rate? I tried changing the value in the 'default mac speech rate' field of customize without any visible effect. I know the -q flag prevents me from saving but it didnt change my current buffer either after hitting state, set. Thanks in advance, Florian On May 13, 2011, at 5:36 PM, DaShiell, Jude T.
