title: Android Jelly Bean TTS Speech Rate
body: <p>I've been working with the beautiful new Android TTS "Jelly Bean voice," but I'm having trouble setting the speech rate.</p>
  
  <p>For example, given the following example code: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/simple-jellybean-tts-example/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/simple-jellybean-tts-example/</a></p>
  
  <p>When I use the old-style TTS voice (namely, KEY_FEATURE_NETWORK_SYNTHESIS is set to false in tts.speak(...)), tts.setSpeechRate works as it should, but when using the new-style, "Jelly Bean voice" (namely, KEY_FEATURE_NETWORK_SYNTHESIS is set to true), setSpeechRate seems to have no effect on the spoken text.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some workaround for this? Or am I doing something incorrectly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
