Thanks Donna! It definitely takes time to get used to listening to a voice that quickly, but if you're interested, you could try cranking up your rate a bit when you're just listening to system prompts (like opening the mail app and browsing to a folder) then slowing it down to read the actual content. Of course, this is assuming you can change your rate. :)
