That is the fun of a screen reader.   I just set the speed to 215 words per
minute and it's all the same to me.

You deserve a better answer. It has to do with the screen resolution an
individual has chosen, and what font size is comfortably readable on the
screen. I have a 17" 1280x1024 LCD monitor, and with my resolution set at
the nominal size, a lower case letter at 10pt is ~2mm higher (7 pixels).
Reset my resolution for 640x480, and the presentation of that same letter
has doubled in size. So if a person who has their own reasons for setting
monitor resolution at 640x480 (or something less than their monitor's
nominal size), their 10pt character may be perfectly readable to them, being
roughly the same size and readability as someone else's 12 pt at nominal
resolution. But their emails sent out at 10pt may seem like the fine print
at the end of a legal contract, when viewed by someone with a monitor at
nominal resolution.

 

Personally, I like 1280x1024, still grieving as I am for a 21" CRT which bit
the dust in Fall of '04. That's a big enough desktop for me to spread all my
papers around on, and still make out 10pt type easily. The people who set
their resolution at lower than nominal are easy to spot.

 

Unless of course, there's a 'bot somewhere out on the net which knocks the
point size of every passing email down by two points. 

 

Mr. Bill
