Yadsu Nektarios. Ti kaneté? Iné epsi epsi.
I think it's probably doing this to indicate a lower case vs. a capital
letter. Wow, I really need more practice! I forgot gama came after beta.
Anyway, I'm curious. What does Alexandros do with your tonos? Like if I'm
writing My name, Xristos. This could really be a problem, as if you put the
meh tono on the ita, your good, but you put it on the omicran, um... Den meh
lene Christ. LOL! OK OK, let me fill everyone in. Most languages have
different accent marks. Nektarios, I know you and I know what this is all
about, just hang tight and let me explain for the sake of others on list.
ROFL! Basically, in Greek, both moddern, and! for that mind, liturgical
greek... BTW, good luck finding a voice to do the old Liturgical greek. Oh,
Nektarios? If you? find! a voice to do that? I will love you forever!
Anyway, Greek has what's called Tonos. Basically... tone. OK, be careful
here though. By tone, I don't mean like some asian languages where you have
the rise 1 3 5 tone type of system. Unfortunately, they mean more tone as
in stress. Yeah, there were actual stress marks, in the liturgical greek,
but not in the more moddern Greek you'd here today say, if you went to
Athens or somewhere. Anyway, so what I was joking about is with my name,
Christopher. So, in the vocative form, Nektarios, correct me off list on
this if I'm wrong as I do get these backwards sometimes. My name is
Xristos. So, basically, he, ro, ita meh tono, sigma, tof, omikran, sigma
telico. Don't worry about the telico on the last sigma. Bottom line is, I
was joking with him, saying put the stress meh tono on the omikran instead
of the ita. If you do that, vocative or nomative form, doesn't matter, you
basically then just called me Christ. Yes, the tones can do that much.
Anyway, that's OT, but I did wanna fill yall in so you'd not be totally lost
at that joke. Anyway, never mind. LOL! Basically though, yeah, I'd be
interested if he does do the tonos correctly. It's totally sad that he
doesn't pronounce a lot of the stresses correctly. This is why I don't
really prefer him as a voice. Lamentably, he's really all we have right
now. I do however wonder if the female voice is any better, or for that
mind if the Greek voices from Acapela would do any better.

Subject: spelling in Greek with voice over.
Hi list.
I am not sure when this problem started, I don't even remember if it ever
worked correctly. <smile>
When I type text in Greek using any Greek voice either from Acapela or the
default from Apple, if I want to spell a word with vo + w for example,
instead of the actual letters, alpha, beta, gama etc, voice over says,
"small Greek letter alpha, small Greek letter beta " etc.
Any multilingual users on this list face this problem? Is there any setting
in Voice over to fix this?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Nektarios.
