  Welcome to the community, @eran.

  This is a good case for the use of "speech event tokens" - see the Manual chapter of the same name, which provides details and examples.

  To change the value of any Manager field through script, right-click that field's label and select "Copy script variable". In the case of the Speech Manager's "Text scroll speed" field, it's:

  AC.KickStarter.speechManager.textScrollSpeed
  

  With a speech event token, you could modify this in your speech text with e.g.:

  [textspeed:50]these chars will be printed with 50 speed. [textspeed:100] these chars will be printed with 100 speed

  Hello!

  I wanted to do this thing, here is the code I wrote. Seems to work?

  `
  using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;

  public class SpeechTokenMonitor : MonoBehaviour
  {
  // Start is called before the first frame update
  void Start()
  {

  }
  
  // Update is called once per frame
  void Update()
  {
  
  }
  private void OnEnable()
  {
      KickStarter.dialog.SpeechEventTokenKeys = new string[1] { "textspeed" };
      EventManager.OnSpeechToken += OnSpeechToken;
  }
  private void OnDisable()
  {
      EventManager.OnSpeechToken -= OnSpeechToken;
  }
  private void OnSpeechToken(AC.Char speakingCharacter, int lineID,
  string tokenKey, string tokenValue)
  {
      // Try to parse the tokenValue string to a float
      if (float.TryParse(tokenValue, out float parsedValue))
      {
          AC.KickStarter.speechManager.textScrollSpeed = parsedValue;
          Debug.Log(speakingCharacter + " said token [" + tokenKey + ":" + parsedValue + "]");
      }
      else
      {
          Debug.LogError("Failed to parse token value as float: " + tokenValue);
      }
  }
  

  }

  I placed this script on the game Engine Object, I also wrote this other Script on the subtitles UI Prefab so that the Scroll speed would rest after every line

  `using System.Collections;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;

  public class TextScrollDefaults : MonoBehaviour
  {
  public float TextScrollSpeed = 90;
  // Start is called before the first frame update
  void Start()
  {

  }
  private void OnEnable()
  {
      AC.KickStarter.speechManager.textScrollSpeed = TextScrollSpeed;
  }
  // Update is called once per frame
  void Update()
  {
  
  }
  

  }`

  Looks good - but you'll need to check the value of "tokenKey" before parsing it, so that you don't run the code for other tokens, e.g. [wait].

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SpeechTokenMonitor : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      private void OnEnable()
      {
          KickStarter.dialog.SpeechEventTokenKeys = new string[1] { "textspeed" };
          EventManager.OnSpeechToken += OnSpeechToken;
      }
  
      private void OnDisable()
      {
          EventManager.OnSpeechToken -= OnSpeechToken;
      }
  
      private void OnSpeechToken (AC.Char speakingCharacter, int lineID, string tokenKey, string tokenValue)
      {
          if (tokenKey != textspeed) return;
          // Try to parse the tokenValue string to a float
          if (float.TryParse (tokenValue, out float parsedValue))
          {
              AC.KickStarter.speechManager.textScrollSpeed = parsedValue;
              Debug.Log(speakingCharacter + " said token [" + tokenKey + ":" + parsedValue + "]");
          }
          else
          {
              Debug.LogWarning("Failed to parse token value as float: " + tokenValue);
          }
      }
  
  }

  Ahh, good catch, thank you!
