The command SetRate allows you to set the rate of speech. The initial rate is
150 words/minute, but it can be set to any value between 85 and 425. Try it:








Finally, there is a utility function called LowerToUpper†, for use with the command SayPhonetic. SayPhonetic is quite picky about the format of the phonetic strings, and in particular, all letters must be in upper case. This can be quite a pain at times, so LowerToUpper was provided - it takes a string as an argument, and returns the same string with any lower case letters converted to upper case letters. This could have been implemented as a function written in HyperTalk, but this XFCN is much faster.
