Read Aloud - More Speed Options

Hey guys. I would be keen for an increase over the current max 2x read aloud speed. My personal preference would be for the addition of 2.5x and 3x speed options, though some friends I have would like to see it increased up to 4x.
This would very helpful when I need to skim through articles, dictionaries, books etc. It would also use it to match audio speed with my internal reading speed. I will sometimes do this when I need that extra help to read through something.
Some users may also want additional options between 1.4x and 2.0x.
Additionally, when selecting the reading speed it currently cycles through the different options with each click, either having a drop down menu or a drop down slider (as a request entitled "Read Aloud Speed Slider" suggested) would be more functional.
While I have posted this within the desktop app (I use that the most), I would also like to see this in the mobile applications.
Thanks for your work, and I appreciate that this is a suggested improvement for a feature already available rather then requesting a completely new one to be implemented!

This would be great. I often use this feature and sometimes the 1.4 speed is a little too fast for trying to catch what's being read.0

Completely agree with this!0

@Jacob Morton - thanks - we'll take a look.0

Same here! 1.4X is way too fast! Thanks for looking into it!0

I also would like more control. I would like something in between 1 and 1.4. The slider is a great idea since I saw other comments about more than 4x speed. It is also worthy of note that some texts require slower or faster speeds to retain comprehension.0
