Ikrami, Thank you so much for very helpful link. Indeed, using Infovox voices was a great relief. Once installed, even without any lines of code added to config files they can read the system language text with very heavy accent but it's at least understandable. The native Mac OS voices just omit the text in different alphabet.
Bad news is though that I did add the appropriate lines in config files but did not get any autoswitch. Wondering what I might have done wrong.... Is the line TextPro=Alrxxxx(xx,xx) case sensitive? Do I have to purchase/activate two voice credits or it works as well on demos? I just saved the edited .conf files. Do I have to reload voices or something? I really ask for the insight those who got this thing running ) Thanks in advance 2017-07-03 21:19 GMT+03:00 Ikrami <blindathle...@gmail.com>: > Take a look at this forum post at applevis: > > https://www.applevis.com/forum/macos-mac-app-discussion/how-setup- > automatic-language-switching-mac-using-infovox-ivox-voices > > > > HTH > > > > > > *From:* macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@ > googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Anders Holmberg > *Sent:* Monday, July 3, 2017 7:45 PM > *To:* 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> > *Subject:* Re: Combining Languages in Mac OS > > > > Hi! > > What is the workaround? > > I would like to be able to use acapela changing languages on the fly?/A > > 3 juli 2017 kl. 16:12 skrev Ikrami <blindathle...@gmail.com>: > > > > I can tell you that you will be pleased with the high-siera update as it > will include ato language switching.
