The Read Aloud delay makes it unusable.

Hello, please please allow the users to configure the time delay between reading aloud paragraphs. A lot of the time Microsoft edge mistakes new lines in web pages or pdfs for new paragraphs, so it stops very frequently and it makes using the 'Read Aloud' feature unusable. As much as artificial intelligence is improving recently, it is still not enabling us to read without having to fine tune settings. I believe that Read Aloud would improve significantly if the time delay is configurable. It is a big pain point in using the read aloud. Other problems include incorrectly reading citations at the end of sentences (it interprets the full stop as a decimal point, and the citation as a number after the decimal point.) and problems with reading equations. However, I am more concerned about the delay.
