Hi, I’m writing aapp that takes advantage of text to speech. So far so good, but a key aspect of text to speech in terms of accessibility - and part of ios core functionality - is being able to adjust the Speaking Rate of the speech between fast and slow depending on user preference. I was hoping that adjusting the settings on my ios phone would propagate to the app using text to speech - but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Is integrating or adding that accessibility use case a priority? Thank you! ---
