Hi! Thanks for the explanation. I'll change my settings in
notification center; had it set to banners, but if alerts work better,
then I'll use them instead. Notification center is awesome, but
doesn't read changes in dropbox, and can't be configured to use the
system voice. I've found an article, though, and it seems that a new
version of growl will be coming soon. So, I'll just tough it out until
then. (smile) Thanks again for your explanation, and I hope that
you're having a great day!
Missy

You may not even need growl, what with notification center. It should
alert you when a notification pops up, which was what growl pretty
much did. Hmm.... never heard of hiss. Is it free? For settings, you
want to set vo to display alerts instead of banners, if it's like how
it is in iOS, which I'll know more of soon.
hopefully, lol. For instance, when it's set to banners, vo in iOS will
say: New notification from app (where app is the name of the
app) but it won't let you go to it or anything.
When alerts are set up, though, vo will
say: Alert! Name of app, then the notification, with a close, and a
reply/launch/whatever the notification requires button. I think, but
am not sure, that this is the same in Mountain Lion, with the button
to view the notification always being show.
Did any of that make sense? lol.

Hi! I installed Mountain Lion last night, and on the whole, I'm very
impressed. My bootcamp wasn't affected in the slightest, which was a
huge relief. Since I was never all that fond of lion, I figured I had
very little to lose by upgrading right away. Anyway, I know there are
a lot of things I still need to learn, but the only major problem
I've run into so far is that growl notifications aren't spoken as
they were. I'm not sure if there will be a growl update released to
fix this, or what the deal is. The notifications I'm mostly
interested in getting back are when files are added, deleted or changed
in dropbox.
Granted, I do most things on my PC, but if I happened to have the mac
on as well, it was handy to hear acapella Tracy informing me of
dropbox changes. I'm very happy that the Acapella voices are still
working. I use Alex for Voiceover stuff, but Tracy is my system
voice, and I'm happy that didn't have to change. If anyone could
shed some light on the situation with growl, that would be great.
On a similar note, I'm wondering if there's any way to configure
notification center to use the system voice? Sometimes, if I'm
reading something else, notifications aren't read, so if it's
possible to configure it to use the system voice, that would be
helpful. Also, has anyone tried this little program called Hiss? It
supposedly bridges the gap between growl and notification center, but
so far, I haven't been impressed with its performance, especially
since it doesn't honor growl settings with regard to system voice
being used. Is there going to be a growl update soon that will resolve
all of these minor issues?
Also, I've noticed, especially if notification center is telling me
about a dm or mention I received on twitter, that it doesn't read the
whole thing. Is that fixible, or would I have to go to notification
center to see the whole thing? What notification center settings are
ideal for using with VO? I don't have an I Device, so all of this is
extremely new to me.
There's so much to learn, but on the whole, I'd have to say that I'm
about
95 percent happy with Mountain Lion, and the dictation feature is a
lot of fun. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have, and I
hope that everyone is having a great day!
