Hi Brian,

The voice rate this way increments or decrements by 5 levels. Any way to do
it just by one level without going to settings?

I am a laptop user thus using NVDA + Shift + Ctrl + Up/down arrow.

Thanks,
Vaibhav

Before I answer your question, I want to make you aware of one of the
handiest commands for a new NVDA user when it comes to finding the
keyboard
shortcuts used to control the vast majority of "commonly used" features:
NVDA+N,H,Q (which is INS+N,H,Q in desktop keyboard layout) will cause
the
Commands Quick Reference to open in your default web browser. The
question
you're asking is about one of the common features/tweaks, and the
keyboard
shortcuts for changing the reading rate, is found there under Synth
Settings Ring, copied here:
Synth settings ring
Name Desktop key Laptop key Description
Move to next synth setting NVDA+control+rightArrow
NVDA+shift+control+rightArrow Moves to the next available speech setting
after the current, wrapping around to the first setting again after the
last
Move to previous synth setting NVDA+control+leftArrow
NVDA+shift+control+leftArrow Moves to the next available speech setting
before the current, wrapping around to the last setting after the first
Increment current synth setting NVDA+control+upArrow
NVDA+shift+control+upArrow increases the current speech setting you are
on. E.g. increases the rate, chooses the next voice, increases the volume
Decrement current synth setting NVDA+control+downArrow
NVDA+shift+control+downArrow decreases the current speech setting you are
on. E.g. decreases the rate, chooses the previous voice, decreases the
volume
You'd have to get yourself to the speech rate for your chosen synth using
one or the other of the first two commands, then increment/increase or
decrement/decrease the rate using the third and fourth commands,
respectively.
