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!

After the 13.1 macOS update, you can now use Siri voices which is fantastic.
The only issue is now there are significant jumps in speed between 1x - 1.4x and 2x speed. 1x sounds about the same to me. 1.4 is now the new 2x, and 2x is now unusable; all the words run together. It is so fast.
Could you guys please adjust the speed options to be more reasonable with the new update?

I use the read aloud feature in Logos nearly every day. But it would be very helpful if you gave us the ability to change the speed more than just 1x, 1.4x, 2x, etc. 1x is way to slow on my computer, but 1.4x is almost too fast to listen to. 2x would be almost impossible to understand. Please give us more control.
