Sometimes, there is an alert for a software update that doesn't speak but stops

Are there other, or many other voices on the Mac? I think I've got Alex,
but I keep using Karen the Aussie by default on my iDevices, and would
prefer to do that on mMini too.
A good distinction there, I now have mMini, iMini, and iPhone.
Spoilt?... well, got to spendit on something.

The defect is that the OS does not automatically
invoke VO when VO has been previously turned on
in an account. It refuses to do this even if
there is only one account and it has VO turned on.
In addition, the setting you describe is not exactly in an easy to find place.

Yes there are more voices on the mac. Go to voice over utility, speach, and
then voices, go to the pop up where you can change the voice, then go to
custom. Once there, it should give you a list of voices to choose from to
download. HTH

Ray, basically you just use the space bar alone rather than using VO-space. I
think that's the sticking point for most people.
I reported the issue to Dropbox and they said they've forwarded it to the
engineers to look at.

There's a bit of personal preference as well. I generally use just the arrow

Hi,
Actually, I did interact with the tables. The first one went just fine. But not
true for the second one, and so I wondered if there were other commands I
needed to invoke. Is formatting of a table or lack thereof a contributing
factor?
