Hi all, I don't usually forward Apple's responses, as they are all the same. This one is different, though, and I'm curious to see how many of you agree. Personally, I find the Nuance voices in 10.9.2 speak "to" and "for" as numbers, and this throws off the speech quite a bit. It also makes everything sound like it was written on a phone keypad by someone in a hurry. As you see below, however, this Apple rep cannot tell the difference. Please email Apple, using this case number so they know which issue you mean, and tell them if you, too, can hear how bad these two vital words sound in the latest OSX update. If you can't hear the difference, I'd be curious to hear about that too. Thanks!
