A method ( 10 ) and system of adjusting a speech output rate to match a speech input rate can include the steps of receiving ( 12 ) speech input, computing ( 14 ) a speech input rate, and dynamically adjusting ( 18 or 26 ) a speech output rate to match the speech input rate. If the type of speech output is TTS, then a rate of TTS can be adjusted ( 18 ). If the type of speech output is recorded and alternate text is available, then steps ( 22 and 24 ) of counting alternate text available from a recorded output and determining an audio file length is used to compute a default output rate to adjust a recorded output rate. If the type is recorded and alternate text is unavailable, then steps ( 21 and 24 ) of obtaining an output word count from a transcription of a recorded speech output and determining an audio file length is used.
