Hi - you can use SSML prosody tags in the text to control the speed.
This will not work with all voices though - so you may need to experiment. Here's an example -
You surround your text with the brackets as you see below - and it will speak slower.
<prosody rate="slow"> hello there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 </prosody>
For more fine tuned control, use the following syntax (supported by a further subset of voices)
<prosody rate="-10%"> hello there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</prosody>
As noted - only a subset of the voices will respond. Supported voices include -
Kate
Paul
Julie
Bridget
Hugh
Ashley
James
Let me know how goes.

I have been trying to contact Voki via Support as well as sending private messages here and have had no response. PLEASE COntact me regarding my account.

Hi Annie - Got it - I understand exactly what you are doing. So at the moment there is no space limit, but we will introduce such a limit at some point soon, that will prevent you from accumulating more than a handful of Scenes. The best solution is to purchase a paid account, where this functionality will not be limited. At $29 a year you will be all set. Hope this makes sense.
Cross using voki creations and presentations between accounts
how can I use the voki presentations I created in the free version in my paid subscription. They act like two completely different accounts. Please provide me stepby step directions if it is possible. I have tried a lot of different things. Bu
unscribe me please
unscribe me please, I know longer wish to use this service, as my course I was using is now finished.
Hi Liz -
What you need to do is login to your account, goto "my Account" page, and disable automatic billing.
With auto-billing disabled you will no longer be charged and your account will expire in due course.
If you like us to take care of it for you, pls write a note to support@voki.com.

Why won't my Voki Avatar speak
I am using the free Basic Trial version of Voki to make a presentation for college. My Avatar will not talk. It states type to speech, apparently that feature does not work.
All my Voki's stopped playing, as of today.
Is there a problem with the website? When I click "Play" the circle just spins and spins like it's loading but then nothing happens. For embedded Voki's, the orange line keeps loading but nothing happens. I have several Voki's in my online courses, so I really do need them to work! Any suggestions?
New account same problem
Hello,
Thank you for taking my "wrong file uploaded" problem into account.. While waiting to find out what I was doing wrong I tried using a different account (different name, different email address but same computer) where there were in theory no saved files. As soon as I tried to upload a file I found myself with the same 28 files saved on the first account, and the same difficulty uploading the twenty-ninth. I feel a bit hounded ...
Wrong file uploaded
I have been using the free version of Voki for my students with no hiccups until today. When I try to upload a student's voice I get a previously used voice file, the last of a list of twenty-eight "saved files". I presume this means I've reached the limit but I don't seem to be able to delete the previous files, although I get a window asking for confirmation when I say that's what I want to do..
