It's all good, John, and please know. I did find your suggestion of value.
It's just not quite what I'm looking for. Thank you though.
I didn't take your comment as an attack. ET's I did, but not your's. That
however said, I still disagree. I feel like the way I initially constructed
my post was quite to the point. Oh well, I can't please everyone,
inevitably, so on this note, I'm just going to maturely drop it with the
consensus to respectfully agree to disagree with both of you on that front.
The way I see it, no harm done.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
You are missing the point, and I apologize if you took that as an
attack. I was not criticizing your posts. I was suggesting that you try to
ask the question or questions you desire to have answered without providing
unnecessary detail. On technical lists, folks tend to like posts to the
point and easy to read and respond to. Back stories are all fine and well,
but they tend to get your posts deleted or ignored before anyone reads what
you are trying to ask.
That’s the other problem with Boom. It does increase Everything. You
might be able to configure that in Boom’s preferences, but I haven’t used it
in a while and don’t recall how fine you can be with it. Just a suggestion,
my friend.

John, I'll look at the possibility of Boom, but that might be overkill. I
don't discount it, but I really don't want to necessarily increase all
sounds. Especially with me being an audio engineer, as that may give me a
false indication of the things I'm producing.
As for me being extraneous, whatever. I'm not arguing this either way.
I'm not frankly in the mood! If you don't like my posts, don't read 'em!
Plain and simple! I'm not gonna flame like I've done in the past, and
rally up a cyberwar. It's not worth it! I've got better things with my
day to do.
Enough said. I have nothing further to say to any of you, unless you
maturely want to answer my initial question, at which point, let's talk.
Chris.

Yes, please just ask the question or questions. When you have to go
through tons of emails a day, it’s hard to read through a message if you
have to plow through a lot of extraneous material.
As a sound solution, though, Boom, might be what could help. Boom
amplifies all of the sounds on the Mac, including the VoiceOver volume. It
adds a sound device in System Preferences you select as the output. Just
be careful with it, though during any OS updates because on occasion, it
gets broken and you don’t have sound until you switch your device back to
the system output.

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.
