[nabs-l] Braille N Speak

Sat Feb 11 00:35:36 UTC 2012

I leave the speed, and pitch on normal.
I just think it's absurd to speed it up!
 I've also known people, who enjoy speeding up, and raising the pitch,
when they're using screenreaders.
People speed Jaws up, and it's quite commical, but I couldn't work
with it like that!
Blessings, Joshua
