Hi, Nancy. Marsha here. While some people might think that separate cursor
voices are a good thing, I do not think it is good to rely on it rather than
listening to what that speech is trying to say. In other words, don't fall in
love with the messenger, just listen to the message. I do not personally have
separate cursor voices. I personally think that people get so hung up on
whether people need separate voices for different functions. I would consider
that kind of thing very distracting. Just give me a low-end speech synthesizer
that does what I want it to without a lot of fanciness.
