Hello, I would like to slow the reading speed but without slowing the words pronunciation, what woud be perfect for me would be to increase the time pause between words.
Is there any way to do it?

The only way I know of to do this is to insert a pause between every word. Both TextAloud 3 and TextAloud 4 have an option available to do this.
In TextAloud 3, click the Tools menu and under Text Processing, click "Pauses and Text Insertions". Click the Add button. Set the "Type of Insertion" to "Insert Pause", and "Insert At" to "Between Words". Set the Pause value to a number in seconds. The field accepts decimal numbers, so you can use a pause like 0.25 to specify a quarter second pause.
In TextAloud 4, display TextAloud settings, expand Speaking Rules in the left panel and select Automatic Pauses. You can specify a between word pause on this panel.
