Default speech speed is way too slow on IOS
The default speech speed is way too slow on IOS. On Android its fine.
Previously I have found that rate: 1.5 has been working well. Although I notice now that the readme states range is 0 - 1.
hi, you may find a manually adjusted rate expression for iOS inside the source code. I don't do cordova development these days, so if you can find a new one working on iOS, feel free to send a pull request.
This is the expression in question: https://github.com/vilic/cordova-plugin-tts/blob/master/src/ios/CDVTTS.m#L67
No idea what would e a good expression though.
Confirm your ios version is 7+

A rate of 1 is way too slow on both my iPhone X and iPad Pro, both running 11.3. Works fine on Android.
