what is growl?

2014-04-18 Thread Jean Parker
Hello All and happy Friday:
I have read references to growl on this list before but have never understood 
what it is.  Could someone give an explanation especially its relation to 
voiceover?

In brief, Growel is an app that verblley notifies you when things happen in 
certain apps.  Before the notification center, it was the best way to get 
information in real time when apps did certain things.  Truth to tell, I never 
saw much benefit in it myself.

Growl is a notifications system that most of us used before Os X 10.8 
Mountain Lion introduced the notification centre. It provides 
notifications for supported apps in the form of audio/visual 
notifications, the audio portion using the system voice to speak the 
notification.


Regards Chris

Happy Easter!

I still use Growl even though I'm using Mavericks because I turn off Voiceover 
in apps where I don't need it such as VMWare Fusion and the RSGames client. If 
notification center itself had an option to use the system voice to speak 
notifications, I would get rid of Growl.
