Hey Mark. Neural TTS was introduced back in iOS 13 and it's only available for the Siri voice. It was pretty cool when Apple showed it off. At WWDC they did a comparison between the normal sounding Siri voice and the same Siri voice that was using Neural TTS. If you listen carefully, you'll noti

Great hearing your ideas, Shawn. You do have me at a disadvantage, however. I don't know what you mean when you say Neural TTS engines. I did not know they even existed, at least, not as such. What exactly is a Neural TTS? Is that Alex? Mark -Original Message- From: bbsshawn via Ma

You know, Violet, whenever I install a newer version of the OS, what I hope for, most of all, is for VoiceOver functionality not to be reduced or broken. Mark -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Violet Gill Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 9:55 AM To: ma

Hi Donna. I agree with you and, yes, one should be able to play a workout to an audio-only device. I am so surprised that this is not the case. Mark -Original Message- From: 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2023 9:32 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Su

Hi Suzanne, I, too, am looking forward to WWDC but I hope they don't get too bogged down in the details. I mean, I really don't care how many nano seconds they have saved off of 10 trillion simultaneous calculations. (smile). Mark -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.

You are quite right, Traci. I am not a huge fan of the rotor. I find it rather cumbersome.I am not a huge fan and yet I cannot come up with a better idea. Sometimes, I wish I had an engineering mind. (smile). Mark -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Beh

Hey Mark. Welcome back. Well for me I bought my M1 MacBook Air at the beginning of the month and I'm still in love with her. I named her Diva. I named her after a certain girl I'm interested in. I don't have a lot of features I'd like to see, just a few fixes I'd like to see across all devices.

Hello, I am enjoying my Mac mini M1 and my iPhone 14 promax. I think the best thing I will want to see for iOS 17 is it to be more stable iOS 16 was very very buggy in the earlier versions. Hopefully iOS 17 will be much better. Violet. She/her. > On May 31, 2023, at 12:22, 'E.T.' via MacVi

The features Tracy mentioned would be nice, but ET also makes a good point. So, my wishlist would be: Fix focus issues in IOS. I find it very slippy. Fix Voices in IOS. For me, they keep cutting in and out. Add feature in Fitness that allows workouts to be played to an audio only device such as

Hi Mark, Rather than adding more features, I would much prefer the various OSs be made more stable. Ventura and iOS need to be more polished. Especially Voiceover voices. From E.T.'s Keyboard... "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." --Joh
