 New Zealand it doesn't seem as bad as I remember when in Samoa, but it
 definitely is more understandable if you adjust the rate down somewhat.

 I think I got what was the problem. For the same value, rate sounds
 different if espeak command or gst-espeak plugin was used.

 words are a little slow and some are still a little fast. For example,
 "lazy" in "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" is a little fast
 even after clicking the rate down twice.

 > Not sure if we can do something on Speak level for "some words are a
 little slow and some are still a little fast", it is more eSpeak issue.
