This is strange. Does setting the rate after start-up through C-e d r work?

I'm on Venture 13.0.1. The system speaking rate under Accessibility preferences seems to be unrelated -- I tried changing it, and it's set to something quite slow, well below the rate that the emacspeak speech server is using. what MacOS version are you on? I'll see if I can reproduce this. Alternatively, does going to settings and adjusting the spoken text rate there change anything? Sent from my iPhone Thank you Parham. That variable does exist and I can set it, but it seems to have no effect. Changing the server config variables directly in the `emcaspeak/servers/mac` seems to have no effect, which is quite strange... sorry, going off memory here, but I think there is a variable like mac-speech-rate or something like that that you can customize. Maybe try C-e V and typing in "mac-" to see what comes up?
HTH!
