Has anyone run into this?
The built-in macOS text-to-speech engine isn't respecting the speech rate I've set. No matter what I choose, it keeps speaking at what seems like the default speed instead of my preferred rate.
Has anyone found a fix or workaround for this? Thanks!

📱 Accessible Tech Tuesday

Sometimes the best accessibility tools are already built into your devices.

Screen readers, magnification, larger text, high contrast, voice commands & audio descriptions can help people who are blind or have low vision use technology more independently.

Take a few minutes today to explore your device’s accessibility settings.

Big update for NVDA Coach. 🌏

NVDA Coach is my free add-on that teaches the NVDA screen reader from inside NVDA itself — short, guided, hands-on lessons, one command at a time. No videos. No PDFs. Just press NVDA+Shift+C and start.

Version 1.5.7 is now fully available in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese — all six chapters, every spoken prompt, and the documentation. That joins Spanish, Russian, Turkish, and Portuguese. More blind and low-vision people learning their screen reader in their own language — that's the whole point.

Free. No account. Works offline after install.
