Hello,
The following patch has been applied to greg's staging tree, it would be
important to get it into Wheezy, as it noticeably improves usability for
blind users.

Subject: speakup: lower default software speech rate
Speech synthesis beginners need a low speech rate, and trained people
want a high speech rate. A medium speech rate is thus actually not a
good default for neither. Since trained people will typically know how
to change the rate, better default for a low speech rate, which
beginners can grasp and learn how to increase it afterwards
This was agreed with users on the speakup mailing list.
