What do you mean he disappeared? Do you mean he isn't in your rotor any
more?

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

Wayne Ifoune the same thing with Alex on my 6.  I find that with the

volume

high, there is sometimes a little distortion.  Either I am getting use to
it, or it is a little better.  I too, find the speach great when I have my

When I wear my headphones or earbuds, he sounds good and it is easy to
understand him. However, I don't want to walk around with earbuds on
all the time, especially since the newer phones have larger space and
bigger speakers. But, to each their own. This is largely why different
voices and speech synthesizers is subjective for people. Perhaps if I
had perfect hearing and didn't have a hearing loss, then things would
be much better. Oh well, I can dream, ...

Hi. Well now that I have an iPhone 5S I can give you my comments about

him.

As you know, I have a Mac so I use him quite a lot on there and he

sounds

pretty much the same on the iPhone as he does on the computer. As for

him

sounding muffled, can you describe what you mean by that? Because he

doesn't

sound muffled on my iPhone. How loud do you have Voiceover and the phone

in

general? I have both at medium volume and I have the rate of Alex set to

15%

because that's his natural rate of speech and he doesn't sound muffled

at

all. I can't stand Samantha, I think Nuance needs to make her sound more
natural before I use her again.

yet and have only heard him in the stores before, so it will take me
awhile to get used to him. He is in many ways clearer than the
Samantha voice, but if he is saying a long string of text, it is often
hard to understand everything. Right now, I have boht the HQ voices of
Alex and Samantha in my rodar and switch between them regularly. I do
like Alex, but I also like Samantha. The Samantha voice has gotten
better over the last couple of years and is now more tolerable to use.

What do you mean he disappeared? Do you mean he isn't in your rotor any

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,

The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

Wayne Ifoune the same thing with Alex on my 6.  I find that with the volume
high, there is sometimes a little distortion.  Either I am getting use to

The louder I make Alex on my iPhone 6, the more muffled and possibly
distorted he sounds. He still sounds good, but when he is reading a
long string of text the distortion can make understanding him a bit
harder for me. This happens a lot when I am using the phone's speaker.
When I wear my headphones or earbuds, he sounds good and it is easy to
understand him. However, I don't want to walk around with earbuds on
all the time, especially since the newer phones have larger space and
bigger speakers. But, to each their own. This is largely why different
voices and speech synthesizers is subjective for people. Perhaps if I
had perfect hearing and didn't have a hearing loss, then things would
be much better. Oh well, I can dream, ...

Hi. Well now that I have an iPhone 5S I can give you my comments about him. As 
you know, I have a Mac so I use him quite a lot on there and he sounds pretty 
much the same on the iPhone as he does on the computer. As for him sounding 
muffled, can you describe what you mean by that? Because he doesn't sound 
muffled on my iPhone. How loud do you have Voiceover and the phone in general? 
I have both at medium volume and I have the rate of Alex set to 15% because 
that's his natural rate of speech and he doesn't sound muffled at all. I can't 
stand Samantha, I think Nuance needs to make her sound more natural before I 
use her again.

Re: Alex voice, how is it?

2014-09-30 Thread Wayne Merritt
I have a hearing loss and Alex sounds pretty good. I don't have a Mac
yet and have only heard him in the stores before, so it will take me
awhile to get used to him. He is in many ways clearer than the
Samantha voice, but if he is saying a long string of text, it is often
hard to understand everything. Right now, I have boht the HQ voices of
Alex and Samantha in my rodar and switch between them regularly. I do
like Alex, but I also like Samantha. The Samantha voice has gotten
better over the last couple of years and is now more tolerable to use.

Well, I was showing my boss today and she wanted to keep my phone.  I am
still getting used to him but, since he is the only man in the house I can
make do something, I am keeping him.  I can shut him up easily enough if
needed.  My iPad is too old for Alex.  

Eloquence can keep it company but Alex seems to have more things he can do,
and he is portable, he can go anywhere with me.

2014-09-29 Thread Alan Paganelli
Neal,I suspect he sounds better on my iPad Air then he does on my 5s is 
because the iPad Air has a larger speaker then does the 5s.  Music and 
movies and any other audio does sound better through the iPad Air's built-in 
speaker.  I'm assuming here that if both the iPad Air and the iPhone 5s both 
had the same size built in speakers that they would sound alike.  As my wife 
and Mister Spock says it's logical.  Hard to argue with the wife.  Mister 
Spock is fictional.  The wife knows where the frying pans are kept!

The only way he would sound better is because of a significantly improved
speaker and that one can test simply by connecting any iDevice capable of
Alex to an external speaker. As far as processing power, there is very
little difference between the A7 processor of the iPhone 5S and the A8
processor of the 6 and 6 Plus. Benchmark tests show about a 15 to 20%
improvement.

I wonder if he sounds better on the new iPhones because of their better

Oddly enough, Alex sounds much better on my iPad Air then he does on my
iPhone 5s.  So on my iPad he stays.  On my iPhone I went back to the
standard hi quality female voice.

I find that to my ears he sounds muffled especially at higher speeds and I
find the original female high quality voice pronounces things more clearly.
But I have often noticed in discussions about TTS voices that there is great

He's still the best, but listen closely to the way he says "cool." That's a

I agree with you, I like the female voice better. It sounds like freedom, 
dating back to when I got my first iPhone 3GS.

But I will keep the Alex voice, so that if I'm listening to a book that's

RE: Alex voice, how is it?

2014-09-28 Thread Sieghard Weitzel

He's still the best, but listen closely to the way he says "cool." That's a
very strange clicking sound of the c in cool.

updates he will be fine.
