Hi guys. The only times I have issues with Voiceover having stuttery speech in
Mavericks is when starting up my Mac after shutting it down, which is rare, and
if using Fusion in the background Windows is doing something heavy like an
update or being stupid. Other than that, my Mac runs great.
This is starting to get unbelievably frustrating as when I get to work I expect
to work and not deal with hours of hours of VoiceOver problems. I just did a
system repair and all was working fine for two days and now VoiceOver is back
to being unbelievably choppy when reading anything. Multiple
Sounds like you might want to do an OS reinstall. Back your drives then do the
install fresh after hard formatting the principal drive your OS was on. A bit
dramatic, takes about two and a half hours, but, well worth the effort.

Hey Ray,
Yeah been trying to do everything except that, but might have to try and do
that this weekend, as this is just getting ridiculous. My concern would be if I
take the time and effort to do that and still have these issues I might blow a
gasket. Amazingly, the choppiness hasn’t occurred
Brian, just so you know, you're not alone. While I can usually read things
fine, VO has also returned to the occasional choppy, broken speech I have been
dealing with ever since Mavericks. Apps are also still slow to load, and more
and more often, emails take longer and longer to open. My
I sometimes get that choppynes too. Last night after the update, it was choppy
for a while. I have No Sleep installed on my Mac, and it sometimes help just
plug it in and just leave it for a while.

Well, I have found that a fresh clean install is usually the way to go after
about a year or so. May want to do it myself before April or so. I believe a
clean install might be the ticket for you.

But I don't want to! :) I know it would be the best thing, but I'm not looking
forward to re-installing and reconfiguring *everything* on the Mac. At least
the process has Windows beat - I can grab most of my apps from the App Store,
put my services back quite easily, and copy the vast majority
Well, I’d say just go for it. With all your apps and settings backed up, I
don’t see that it’s that much of a pain for goodness sake. Beats trying to do
it in windows anyhow.

Well, the files are, but you can't just dump all your backed-up apps back onto
the system, at least as I understand it.

Well, I don't know bout that. My stratigy is to save the actual disk image
files in which the apps are to Drop Box. Then, when the new install is done,
load all those disk images in and install the apps. As to the serial numbers,
Save those in .txt or .rtf form to Icloud and then, as you

away again. I just want to find out what is causing it, as it drives me bonkers

Hi Daniel. Just curious after your last message. Did Apple release another
update to Mavericks or did you say that you just updated to 10.9.1 just last
night?

I can tell you there has been no update after 10.9.1. Betas of 10.9.2 are
coming regularly, but there is no known release date for that update yet.

Hey Alex,
Yeah VO worked for two hours without the choppiness but now is back to being
ridiculously choppy it is so bad that when you type an email it tells you are

Hi,
There are a few processes that happen when a machine is first turned on that,
for non VO users, just wouldn't be noticed. For example, if you shutdown or
put your computer to sleep overnight, there is a nightly HD tune-up that the
OS will perform once the machine is awakened ready to go.
I don't think this is a Mavericks/vo problem per se or at least all by itself;
there would apparently seem to be some other variable along with Mavericks and
vo that is triggering this since there are many people who are not experiencing
the problem along with those who are. I upgraded to
Tim the Apple customer service guy agreed with you as he told me that a clean
install is the very very last thing he would do. Go figure VO is back to
working again, very bizarre behavior.

That's a good point about clean installls. It would be really hard not to put
the problem back in the new install as you added apps on and set up all your
preferences.

I know a clean install is not usually necessary, but I can't think of anything
else to try. I have:
* uninstalled Soundflower, which reports suggest can cause audio processes to
run constantly and eat CPU power like crazy
* repaired disk permissions multiple times, the most recent from Safe
Bryan, I am really sorry you seem to be experiencing such awful chopping issues
under Mavericks and VO.
The only time I have had this occurred with me is when I power up my late 2011
MBP I get VO stuttering as it were through the standard “Welcome to OS 10.
Voiceover is on.” This is using the

lastnight.

not get that stutter. I even changed her “Welcome to
Hey Daniel,
Yup you are right, I can't stand the compact voices. I do have multiple voices
installed and the sluggishness is with all of them. I am not even sure how I
would revert to the compact voices, will have to look in to it the next time
the skipping words happens.

I tried using Fred for a while. I didn't notice stuttering, but it is a very
random problem anyway. However, the overall sluggishness of the system
persisted. Good thought though, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi,
I am experiencing this periodic choppiness in speech and even sluggish response
from VO. Restarting VO helps sometimes but sometimes it doesn’t. When it is
at its worst, I also hear fan noise as though my laptop were running hot or
some process is eating up all my CPU. Any tips of what

I am using tom to.
