Change speed without pressing the stop button (and reread everything) #160

Hello!

Unfortunately you cannot (or at least I cannot) change the speed of text-to-speech without then pressing the stop button and restart from the beginning of the text. If you change the control, it does not affect the reading speed until you do that.

Thank you

True, any changes made to the rate property will only take effect on subsequent calls to the SpeechSynthesis.speak() method, and will not affect any speech that is currently being played. This is by SpeechSynthesis design.
