Hi Derek, there are a number of ways to set the rate. C-e d 1 to C-e d 0 will set the speech rate to one of 10 pre-defined speech rates C-e d r will prompt for a rate and set it to that in the local buffer. Use a prefix arg to set it globally. As the different speech servers tend to interpret rates differently, I find the best thing to do is experiment with the different rates interactively with C-d r and then, once I've found the rate I like, set it either via the customise interface or by putting it into your emacs init file. This will ensure the rate is set each time you start emacs and emacspeak.
