Hi, Besides the busy problem in Safari, and the pitch change issue with the new premium voices, what other problems have you found with voiceover in Lion? The busy situation is terrible, don't get me wrong, but honestly, thats the only major flaw I experience on a regular basis in Lion as far as voiceover goes. As a power user, I'm interested in your response.
