Hi Carolyn, I actually don't own a Mac but sounds interesting though. But correct me if I'm wrong the ipod models/iphone have male voices but they are in other languages like french spanish don't know what languages/names they are but basicly the male voices are in other languages not the english which are all female voices. Of course maybe that's changed now. I would be greatful if you or someone else could tell me if this is so. As for the other thing you was describing it sounds like the "spoken menus" that came out in the ipod 4th Genaration which basicly when you synk your ipod for the 1st time ipod nano 4th gen and above it creates audio files so that when you use it when you are using the click wheel you can hear the genarated voice clips depending on your voice that you have selected in the pc/mac to be spoken on your ipod. But thanks for your comments anyway. Daniel

Daniel: Hi from one HI person to another<smiley> Apple has several male voices available on their macbooks with the latest Osx10.6. If you can get someone with a Mac to help you sync your device with a Mac, you could get the male voice, Alex, who is pretty easy to understand. Otherwise, I believe some of the other voices on the iPhone/touch etc have male voices.

But as my subject line says I was wondering for though's who use an ipod touch ipad or whatever apple product that has voiceover on it. Do you know if you have any male voices yet in it instead of the female voices that come with it. I ask this because a while ago I sent an email to apple accessabilty and got a responce saying that theywould forward it on the right people but haven't heard of anything since. The reason I want this because as well as being blind I have a hearing impairment too and have been since birth I wear hearing aids. I just can't understand the female voices with the products. So for thoughs who read this I would really be greatful if you could email ap...@accessibility.com and if your not hearing in pared I would still really be greatful if you could take the time for the bennifit of hearing in pared people plus being blind to explain this sort of situation to them. I have sent them another email this morning UK time but as of yet I have had no news. Its one of the things that's stopping me getting another ipod touch and giving it another try! Honestly I find it so fustrating. Well I hope to hear from you all soon. Many Thanks and hope your all having a plesent day weather its morning, afternoon or evening!
