Yeah started working from home today,
Don???t know how your wifes finding it but I???m struggling after day 1,
Mind you my internet connection in the flat is crap and very slow, plus there
is 6 in the flat and at least 3 of us are on line all day,
Really different when your limited to phone and email / remote desktop
connectivity rather than someone walking in to your office with a computer
You getting out to work is great, I had to go for a 4 km walk tonight just to
get exercise and fresh air.
Make sure yu and the wife take care out there in empty space,
That???s what it???s like, empty space.
I thought tonight on my walk it???s like being in a scene from the 80???s movie
Quiet Earth,
Don???t know if you ever saw it, Bruno Lawrence
Keep your hands to yourself and keep safe
Later.

Yes, we just set up my wife???s work computer in our office, it???s a bit of a
tight fit as she has two monitors and a docking port for her laptop, but we
made it fit. I Weill still have to go to work fro for the foreseeable future
unless I get sick, but at least I won???t have to catch the bus to work any
more as my wife can drive me for the next four weeks or more. Depending on how
long this takes.
How about you, are you able to work from home?

Hi Petrus,
I???ve looked at androids and I???ve only found a couple of voices for them,
Might be that we don???t get the same range down here but I thought they were
more limited.
You ready for lock down?

Well some of the people on this list might want to Lynch me if I suggest this,
but have you looked at Android phones as well? They might have some voices that
might be easier on the ear. I haven???t got one myself but I think there are
more voices available for them.

I will confirm the model via my apple id, then wait until the CNIB individual
is here again, since the last voice left is unsafe for my use.
I know about the adapters, but as established, until I know the device is
safe for use voice wise, accessories are the least of my focus.

I think it might be a 5c as I vaguely remember you telling us when you first
got the phone. Not sure if you can delete voices and even if you could I
don???t think I could test it as the steps might be different on IOS 10 then
they are on 13.
As far as the lack of a headphone jack goes on the new phones,, you do get an
adaptor so you can still plug your old headphones into it through the charging
port.

That is one reason why I want to dump stuff. Alex, which apparently works on
this phone takes allot of space.
I want to test voices with some knowledge, I start getting nauseous when voices
are not correct.

Hi!
The 5 series can???t be updated any more.
But i don???t know if they update the voices sometimes.
Have you tried other voices such as the american voice Tom or other voices?

and a side siri one as well?
Will ask the siri one first..can it be removed once installed?
The voiceover voice question has to do with sound quality.
I finally found a discussion thread about this with others noting the same
thing. Daniel who I believe is the UK English voice changed in its enhanced
form a while back. I do not know if it has been improved, or better still
when was the last upgrade to the Daniel voice?
I have an iPhone in the 5 family. it is possible that upgrading IOS
itself, or the voice, if I can, will improve things.
for now though the quality clarity and pronunciation is rather dreadful.
I did not want siri, but apple accessibility, who was talking with the person
helping me use the phone suggested the download because voiceover itself was
not working well according to them.
Siri, which was male in this case, sounded worse than the Daniel voice itself.
I believe? Nuance makes the apple voices. Is there any way to reach them
directly?
last of all, I understand there are other options for voices, with my
wondering about direct contacts too, as I will have to walk someone else
through reaching them.
My situation is that since most software generated speech is in a frequency
range that stimulates my brain's dizzy centres, experimenting can make me
rather sick. That is what happened when trying to resolve the Daniel / male
siri situation.
meaning I really want to plan ahead before testing anything further.
ideas?
