eSpeak NG's rate gets faster than usual when changing the braille screen input orientation

This seems to be a new issue from 1.0(10). Steps:
- Add eSpeak NG to VoiceOver and select it. I use the Spanish (Spain) voice, Male 3 variant, no idea if others will also manifest this behaviour.
- Put eSpeak NG at a fast rate, both in the app and in VoiceOver. Say, 792 WPM in the app and 80% in VoiceOver. (900 / 75, which I usually use, also work for this).
- Add Braille screen input to the rotor.
- Put the rotor in that setting. Notice the huge difference in speed between the first utterance ("landscape") and the second ("home button to the left / right").
Either VoiceOver's regular speed is too slow for the wpm, that message's is too fast, or both. I think that both are true.
I can still reproduce this, also for e-mail messages for example. It is currently preventing me from using ESpeak full time.
@djphoenix Is this on your radar?

Yup, but I think that it may be another SSML bug in espeak core that hard to catch. Not sure about estimates.
I can no longer reproduce this in build 1.1 (3). @sukiletxe can you check as well?
No, now I can't. It seems that now the faster speed is the default. Now, I can read at a confortable speed at 75% VoiceOVer rate and the slider at 293. I can't remember where the slider was before, but definitely much higher.
If this is intentional I have no problem with it, although the difference between the speed of voiceOver and the synthesize button makes me believe it isn't.
@sukiletxe if you have higher (>50%) rate set in VoiceOver you will increase only system speed. In-app synthesis does not use VoiceOver, and so only uses in-app rate.
Ah, makes sense, if I set it to 50% they seem to be the same speed. It also seems that VoiceOver can go faster than the app now.
