Set Speech_rate

[obsidian notch]

Hi everyone, I’m using Assist with TTS(with Home Assistant Cloud) and I’d like the assistant to speak faster.
Is there a way to change the speaking rate / speech speed in Home Assistant?
I couldn’t find a setting in the docs. Is this provider-specific (e.g. Piper, Google TTS, Amazon Polly)?
Just to clarify, it's not about reducing the time it takes for the assist to respond, but rather making it speak faster.

I think this would be provider specific. piper has some options.
although I suggest checking out various voices. some are quicker than others anyway.
