Totally agree, all the legacy voices should go (am sure they could be downloaded if anyone really wanted them) as they are useless. Apple already have a license for international voices as they use them on the iPhone. Not sure if they are suitable for the Mac, but hopefully this will be consid

Just make sure you raise it slowly since a radical increase in height may make it difficult to focus, but then that is an assumption on my part, I have no idea, but having a sufficient light source will also help. On Jun 29, 2010, at 7:24 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > Hi, Have you actually manage

Oh as a Jaws user I disagree with that! I would find it much better if you could select what is listed in Item Finder. One keystroke you can use to find all sorts is so much better than all those ones in Jaws. This is one area where Window Eyes beats it hands down! Cheers Dave -Original Mess

Hi, Ok finally got it to work. lol. Scott was right. You got to raise the phone pretty high. I got about 3 or 4 words I could understand in every sentence. I'm using the iPhone 4 with the 5mp camera. I could fill-in the blanks and figure out what the document was about but that was it.

It will beep and you do not need to hit the camera button. You will find that raising it about 1 to 1.5 feet is necessary before it will begin to beep. The iPhone 4 may be different do to the camera, but I do not know for sure since I do not have one yet. On Jun 29, 2010, at 2:48 AM, Cody Hurst
