Hello Austin This is due to the way the style currently handles speech. Previously, it did not obey speech preferences either. I am working on a fix, however, for the issue with multiple notifications being spoken on top of each other. I cannot promise the new improvement will be in the coming

Hi Eric The thing with VoiceOver is that the screenreader interrupts itself when new information is displayed. THis is extremely handy, in fact, but not in applications such as text-based environments like Terminal. Growl will work with Skype. When you start Growl, you may have to relaunch for

Hi, the main disadvantage with having Growl set to speech is that when a message comes that requires interaction, such as a growl update or an added or removed file from dropbox, you can't interact with the message, or can you? if something should be done about the speech style, it would be the

Hello Rafaela! Growl is very much accessible. Simply switch the display style to speech and you're good to go. You can do this from with in System Preferences>Growl. The way Growl handles speech is slightly odd, though, as it speaks everything at once. That means that, if you get Skype chats an

Hi Eric. Go to the growl section of system preferences. Under the display options tab, you can set the default display style. Speech is one of these display styles. I don't know if anything actually appears on the screen when you use the speech display style. Darcy On 2010-07-24, at 9:39 PM

Hi Al. This doesn't directly answer your question, but what I do is set growl to use the Speech display style. This will cause all notifications to be spoken by growl itself. I use the zarvox voice to differentiate growl messages from anything that VO might say. Darcy On 2010-07-23, at 11:20
