title: How to slow down text to Speech with SSML - voice sounds distorted/warped/ghastly
body: <p>i am using <strong>nuance dragon mobile sdk</strong> for iPhone, for using text to speech.<br>
  The readed text is a little bit to fast and i want to make it slower, so the user can <strong>learn</strong> the words. My aim is to slow down the text a bit. That works very fine with SSML and prosody tag, see this code:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;prosody rate="slow"&gt;This is the text which is spoken slow,
  but the voice sounds distorted/warped/ghastly&lt;/prosody&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The voice sounds <strong>distorted, warped and ghastly</strong>.<br>
  Do you understand what i mean?<br>
  What can i do to get a <strong>clear voice</strong> but <strong>slow speaked text</strong>?</p>
