Hi guys, Heres how to change the rate for send to itunes as a spoken track, on the mac; To change the reading rate you need to insert an embedded command specifying the rate at the beginning of the text file. This command will not be read by VoiceOver, but it will result in all subsequent text being read at the specified rate. Type two left brackets, followed by the word "rate", followed by a space and a number like "300" (for the words per minute), followed by two right brackets. You could copy and paste the control: [[rate 300 Just remember to place this at the very top of the text doc you're going to convert; HTH Chuck "God does not play dice with the universe" "Albert Einstein’
