Re: Extra Text Being Spoken
Okay, it is now back to normal. Found an option in the general verbosity settings under text. It was speak numbers as digits. Chaning this to words also, for some reason, fixed my terminal issue. Thanks to all!

So, in my inbox, I get a message like 8 8 5 messages 5 1 unread instead of 886 messages and 51 unread. There must be a setting to fix this, right?

Re: Extra Text Being Spoken
Speak Text Under Mouse is the Announcements tab under Verbosity. The time delay slider is right under the checkbox for Speak Text Under Mouse. This is a really nice feature, but it won't automatically read text under the mouse in mail. Sure works good in Safari though :) On Nov 5, 2010, at 9:56 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: Sounds like you might have the option to speak text under the mouse after a delay.

Re: Extra Text Being Spoken
Hi Jeff, I'm not sure this will help, but it sounds as though your shell is set to give a prompt with your machine name, and that this is written in caps. This is not the default setting, so I don't know how this might have happened. Cheers, Esther On Nov 05, 2010, at 01:37 PM, Jeff Berwick wrote: This was it. Thank you so much.
