Hi Jacob,
From my point of view, whenever I hear a tutorial where Jaws is
spoken faster than the person making the recording, I usually end up
not listening to it at all.
Quite honestly, I cannot follow any speech synthesizer that is too
fast. My Jaws rate is set at 53 which is 11%.
Others may not have the same problem that I have. perhaps it is
because that I am hard of hearing?
Take care.

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 and jaws is up to like 10 or so at the moment, but anyway...
Thoughts?
This is all partly related to that 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>
Stay well
