Chris,
Mark does not have to do a thing, you do. You make it so difficult,
why? I too have a hearing loss but its immaterial how much of a loss. So
I started reading your post but quickly developed a short attention
span. Its wearisome trying to wade past the drama. I can ge that on TV.
I am here to learn and ask questions.

Here is the deal. As some of you may know, I have a bit of a hearing
loss. Some might clame it's mild, others may say it's severe. Anyway,
the point is, I certainly can use Alex, but he, along with most of the
other Nuance TTS voices are a bit hard for me to understand. This isn't
negotiable. I'm not using them, so don't try convincing me. That's not
the point of this thread, so please don't hijack it and turn it into
such. I'm kindly gonna request that Mark not let that happen.
Anyway, the thing is, I've found that I'm able to use the Fred legacy
voice quite well. Unfortunately though, Fred, in comparison to Alex is
significantly mor quiet when turned all the way up to 100%.
This leads me to my question. Take a look at this link.
http://www.applevis.com/forum/os-x-mac-app-discussion/bypassing-upper-speech-rate-limit-os-x-voices
Now, I totally do get that this is more for uncapping the speaking rate,
not the volume, however, the volume is referenced in this page. Look
under the initial question at the very first comment.
I've followed these instructions exactly to a T, but the volume still
isn't seeming to uncap. Not even if I put it to 140 which is apparently
the max volume limit. Basically, what I'm trying to ultimately
accomplish is, I want the volume of Fred to be equal at 100% to that of
Alex at 100%. I know! this apparently can be done, but try as I may,
even editting that line in Text Edit isn't working. I checked to see if
maybe the line was commented, but it's not. Or at least, if it is, I
see absolutely no indication of it being such.
Is there maybe another file that needs to be changed? Maybe like a
PList file or something? If so, what is it, and what needs to be
modified specifically? Has that volume numerical integer value changed
since that article was written where maybe it now in El Capitan can go
higher than 140?
I'd be extremely intrested in hearing if anyone can talk me step by step
through getting this to work correctly.
Chris.
