Lol. I've seen them, for me XCode is a lot easier and I can't make a my stake 
and brake things as badly. and it might be easier for the intermiaded user 
which I am.

Take care.

Actually, it isn't necessary to install Xcode, though it does give you  
dashboard which organizes the plist files nicely, and let's you see  
what goes where.
These plist files are plain text files.  Simply open them in text edit  
or something similar, and edit away.  Just be sure not to overwrite  
any of the xml tags, or the settings won't be understood by vo, and  
all your hard work would be in vane.

Great!  I am new enough with the Mac that I did not think about just exporting 
the settings and starting from those.  I have now done so and consequently 
modified the rate.  It works very well!

Re: voice over speed hack for osx

[Geoff Stephens]

Well, I’m afraid that I have now lost my preferences in my experimentation.  I 
have to start from ground 0 with configuring VO.  Guess it’s not so bad but 
will certainly require some time.  If anyone has any insight about how these 
files are stored, I would appreciate it.

Re: voice over speed hack for osx

[Geoff Stephens]

Well, while I appreciate the podcast, it focuses on how to install xCode and 
other things like editing preferences you have already saved in your dock.  
Honestly, I sometimes have difficulty following these kinds of podcasts.  
Simple instructions tend to work better for me.  Nevertheless, I’m sure most 
people really prefer the podcast format.  What I need to know is how to locate 
a VO preferences file to modify.  If I look in ~/library, I do find VO 
preferences but am not at all sure how these are organized and which file I can 
use to get a copy of my most recently saved preferences to modify.  The link to 
your example preferences no longer works but that’s fine.  I don’t think I 
wanted to start with someone else’s preferences anyway.

Does anyone know how to locate the most recently saved VO preferences?
Thanks.

I listened to your presentation too yesterday and you did a nice job. But still 
being the newbie to the Mac that I am, I think I’ll wait awhile before I do 
something like this if I even do it at all. I just don’t know that much 
programming in general on anything but DOS, and the last thing I’d want to do 
is go and break something. Especially on this new laptop! Thanks again though.

Yes it would, and you have to edit files. I am not jail broken so can't help in 
any way shape or form there. Sorry. I don't have a presentation and apple vis 
took the one someone had written down as nuance found out about this and said 
they will not endorse  such activities. 

Take care.

Re: voice over speed hack for osx

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Sarah,

Excellent presentation and information as always, but I have the impression 
that getting an altered prefs file to transfer to the desired location on an 
IOS device would necessitate a JB?


Best regards.
Geoff

I read the directions and it looks way too complex for me to try. I 
did have wine installed once, and on once.


the catch is this, you need to have the server running. I wonder what 
happens if you forget to switch voice and accidental close out the 
server. Will it revert to what ever voice you had before switching to 
read?


take care.

 the catch is this, you need to have the server running. I wonder what 
 happens if you forget to switch voice and accidental close out the server. 
 Will it revert to what ever voice you had before switching to read?
 
 take care.
