Launchpad-script: TTS speed rate changer
The ordinary TTS speed rates are 80, 100, and 150. In my quest to become a speed hearer, I've had to create a launchpad-script with which you can change the rate beyond these.
Sequence Shift S X decrements the speed rate with 25. Sequence Shift S C increments the speed rate with 25. Sequence Shift S V updates the speed rate to a predetermined one, with the default value 220. Place the script in the Launchpad folder and press the sequence Shift Shift Space to refresh Launchpad. It works for me with firmware 3.2.1 on Kindle 3. Note that TTS must be enabled when using the script and that the speed rate will be returned to the menu setting when restarted. PHP Code:

Speed up TTS on KT
Hi larsanders,
This is the hack that I use the most on my K3G. I think the TTS feature is the most used on my K3G and being able to have the book read quickly is really great. I just got KT, and I wonder if anyone has idea on how to do this on KT? The Launcher menu item is grayed out when TTS is on. Even when I turn the TTS off, the Launcher is still grayed out. Thanks, James Last edited by jmseight; 07-27-2012 at 02:59 PM. |

Hi,
I typed the lipc-set-prop commend in an ssh during TTS, and it does work as expected. If there is a way to make Launcher active during TTS. Is there a place where I can modify the action of the TTS Option->Rate buttons permanently. I noticed the following: Slower is 80, Default is 100, and Faster is 150. So I can map Faster to 220, Default to 150, and Slower to 100 instead. Thanks, James |

Hi All,
I got it to work by changing the /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/javascripts/search_bar.js using the same method as "[Kindle Touch] Turn store button on search bar to browser button" by aditya3098 Basically, I changed the system callback line for the store in the script to nativeBridge.setIntLipcProperty('com.lab126.tts', 'TtsISpeed', TTS_SPEED); and setting at the beginning of the file const TTS_SPEED = 220; Now the Store button changes TTS Speed to 220. Thanks, James |
