Hello Paul,

It’s probably quicker just to use the voice rotor to get to Rate rather than 
using the other suggestion I have, which is to create an Italian activity where 
you could set the voice and rate. However, if you use Braille, creating an 
activity might be worthwhile as you could include Italian Braille in the 
settings.

Cheers,

Anne
