How to set speed?

Asked by 3t0g0

For command line, espeak could set to speak slower by "-s"
e.g.
espeak -s 110 "an apple"

For python-espeak, the follow line of code could provide voice
espeak.core.synth("an apple")
however, it is a bit too fast. Is there anyway to slow it down.

Thank in advance for prompt reply

This is now possible with:

from espeak import espeak
espeak.set_parameter(espeak.parameter_RATE, <speed>, False)
espeak.synth("an apple")

For future reference, in python-espeak 0.2 this syntax has changed to:

from espeak import espeak
espeak.set_parameter(espeak.Parameter.Rate, <speed>)
espeak.synth("an apple")

Can you help with this problem?
