[DECtalk] speech rate

[Katie Madison]

  Hi Alix,
  Unfortunately, these scripts don't do anything when I used them. What 
version of jaws do you have. Your version of jaws may be too new to work 
with the scripts. I'm not sure, but I think that's the problem. Well, if all 
else fails, do like Jayson said and look for the graphical buttons. I wish 
you good luck.
