Yes, I really like the Serena voice, and still miss her on IOS, as I can't stand Daniel. I use Alex on Mac for the reasons just stated, and the Irish voice on IOS now. Cheers Dave On 23 Apr 2014, at 20:06, Alex Hall wrote: > That's interesting, I'll have to see if that fixes things. I very mu

That's interesting, I'll have to see if that fixes things. I very much prefer the Ava voice, so use that exclusively. On Apr 23, 2014, at 2:52 PM, David Taylor wrote: > Hi, > > I find that app switching works well, using activities, but only if I use the > Alex voice, and probably the older vo

Hi, I find that app switching works well, using activities, but only if I use the Alex voice, and probably the older voices would work too, but not at all well with the nuance voices. I have reported this to Apple. Cheers Dave On 23 Apr 2014, at 14:52, Alex Hall wrote: > I am using cmd-tab

To see how verbosity changes things, press vo-v, left or right arrow to verbosity, then up or down arrow to "low" and press space. It alters how messages are read in the Messages Table. I set up an activity to do this automatically when Mail is active, but it now takes a long time to switch to

I am using cmd-tab as well, and yes, the activity is for Mail alone. When I tweeted about this, someone else said they are having the same problem under Mavericks. I recently did a clean install, so there's little chance it is something corrupt somewhere. On Apr 23, 2014, at 2:18 AM, Anne Robert

Hello Alex, Could you please explain more about the verbosity please? I played around with it after reading your text and thought I changed it but no difference. The mail app is driving me crazy. I love threading but this is rediclous. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro On Apr 22, 2014

Hello Alex, How are you switching between apps and does your Mail activity kick in when you switch to mail? I have a Mail activity with low verbosity and switching is immediate using Cmd-Tab. I have a MacBook Air 11-inches with 8 gb of RAM. Cheers, Anne On 23 Apr 2014, at 05:30, Alex Hall
