Hi listers,
Do you all remember the tts bug from some previous versions of osx and ios.
The one that misspronaunced emailaddresses and url's.
Well those are fixed in ml for the english or french voices.
Badly to see that this bug is still around with the dutch voices, are there
others that have t
Hi Nick. It’s true that the Nuance voices still say capital before the capital
letter. It also says that on the iPhone.

With the exception of Alex, doesn't it still say the word "capital" before each
letter even with beeps turned on? Whether pitch change or beeps I don't mind, I
just don't like it saying "capital" each time as that three syllable word
before each one syllable letter is horribly verbose and slow.
Nick, what I’ve done for all the voices, including Alex and the Vocalizer
Expressive voices, instead of having it change pitch for capital letters, I
have it beep for capital letters. I prefer this behavior because the pitch
changes are freaky.

HI Traci,
By default, Alex should just change pitch when reading a capital letter but
should not say the word "capital". This makes reading all caps much easier as
you don't get all the unnecessary extra words. The other voices, however, will
say "capital" and change pitch as well, which is unne
Hello, I don’t believe there are any new Australian voices. Just Lee & Karen.
AS far as the capitol goes, Oliver (the new UK voice), reads capitol T, the
same as Compact Samantha.
Oddly enough, Alex didn’t indicate capitol or lower-case. I wonder if that is
a setting I have created?

Hi Ricardo,
Regarding iBooks, have you figured out a way to access collections? I have an
embarrassingly large iBooks library, and it is divided into collections.
Collections are one of the things that makes iBooks outstanding in my opinion.
So can I have my collections accessible on Mavericks?
Hi,
I think you bring up an excellent point. In my opinion, There is no really one
super addition to Mavericks. ibooks is cool, I’ve read 3 books with it
already, but accessibility wise, it feels like its still in beta. That being
said, it really doesn’t need much to become awesome. Label t
As someone who has read everyone of these Mavericks post, and has yet to
update, the answer to this question for a gmail user seems to be No. I usually

have read, I can't seem to find one thing that makes Mavericks wo
Hi,
Well, it makes sense, as Nuance bought Loquendo a few years ago.

Hi Nick. No, there aren’t any new Australian voices, but Karen sounds new and
improved. More human than she ever was.

My favorite voice for Vocalizer Expressive is Karen because she sounds more
human than the rest of them. I kinda find it funny that Nuance put the original
Loquendo voices, (Alison, Kate, and Susan) into Vocalizer Expressive. Funny and
a little bit saddened that they didn’t keep the ability for
No, I don’t think there are new Australian voices. No, that capital letter
oddity is still present, at least in Ava.

Two questions:
1. Are there any new Australian English voices?
2. Do the new voices read out capital letters properly, as does Alex, or do
they announce both "capital" and change pitch?

Well, for what it’s worth, I don’t think they are really “new”, just improved a
bit. For example, you don’t get any new choices to my knowledge other then the
usual Samantha, Daniel, etc..
I know somebody will correct me if this is off base..

Ok, so does this also affect apps that emulate a bluetooth keyboard,
such as Type2Phone? Mind you this wouldn't be a dealbreaker as such for
me since I use Siri and the typing apps out there for the phone.

Depends on what you do. If you like how VO reads messages in Mail, or you don’t
care about Maps or iBooks (neither of which is fully accessible, though iBooks
is usable and I haven’t played with Maps), or you don’t want app launches or
waking from sleep to take a long time, don’t update. The adv
I’d largely agree: But, I found one really nasty bug when it comes to pairing
a bluetooth keyboard with the Mac under 10.9. Instead of the actual password
asked for by the pairing dialog, Voice Over always reads:
12345678
So, if you often pair bluetooth keyboards to your Mac, I’d stay with 10.
Hi Courtney. That’s a personal preference to update or not so you’d have to
decide that for yourself. Personally, there are some bugs in Mavericks but
they’re only tiny ones so it’s not a show stopper for me. But like I said, it’s
a matter of personal preference and if you find any bugs, don’t h
Hi,
I know that os 10.9 mavericks is free, but is it worth the trouble of updating?
Or is it still not there yet?
