Hi Nic Last point first. I need to write to AssistieWare I thin, because this is a real issue that's causing confusion. Apple is definitely trying to put substitutions in there. To be fair there is a pronunciations editor But it doesn't let you change a lot of things really.
Given that Apple has moved towards using third party voices, I wonder if they've given up the development of Alex. I find the voice nauseating now to be honest. I used to use it inSnow Leopard but in Lion I just couldn't tolerate him. I'd rather use Nuance Daniel, and that's saying something. Gordon On 29 Aug 2011, at 12:03, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: I agree. He sounds a bit beefier in Lion than he did on Snow Leopard. in SL, I actually quite liked him, and I still do in 10.7, but he just sounds a lot rougher to me than he used to sound. As for numbers, Apple still tries to control this. An example is that if you have a certain amount of numbers, Apple will interpret them as bar codes. An engineer even said as much, and I find this kind of wrong to assume. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
