I am still using Alex. And I still have Samantha as a back up for US English, although I really don't use her. She's just there because she's there. I have listened to the other US English voices, and don't find I prefer any of them over what we had previously. If I had what I really would like

Well, to be very honest, if somebody had made the old triple talk voice into a software version, like they did for Dectalk, I would use that with a screen reader. I still have one of those triple talks in an old machine that I use. I'm used to it. I've had one for I can't tell you how long, star

Unless you know that Apple has input into this whole deal, or you can prove that the exact same voices are used elsewhere and don't have this problem, I don't think you can blame Apple for the crappy voices. Where Apple could improve would be either to insist that nuance up their game, which wou

Regarding the rotor, I just tried something and it worked every time. It involves the use of two hands, so you would have to have the phone lying flat on the table. You can take the thumb of each hand and slide each one a different way, the left thumb going left and the right thumb going right.
