Not really. You can't change, for instance, the voice used in a say all command versus the voice used when reading line by line. Yes, you can change the voice for things like typing, content, menus, and so on, and you can set up activities to use voices in different apps, but there is no way to

You can do this in the VoiceOver Utility. Check the additional voice options in the voices tab of the speech category. Christopher Hallsworth On 03/10/2012 17:23, Traci wrote: I use Samantha compact. When I first got my Mac last year, I tried Alex for a month or so, but couldn't get use to h

lol, you honestly think most people type at 120 wpm? I definitely don't think so. I bet the average typing speed is somewhere around 45wpm. Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Oct 3, 2012, at 12:15 PM, Mark Baxter wrote: > Why would

I use Samantha compact. When I first got my Mac last year, I tried Alex for a month or so, but couldn't get use to him. It was one thing I missed from my windows screen reader, being able to set different rates for keyboard, screen, mouse. If it was an option, I'd probably have Sam-Compact for

Why would anyone want to have a typing echo at all, unless one were learning the keyboard for the first time? In which case, the lag won't really matter, as typing speed will be negligible. For anyone typing faster than 50-60 WPM, much less 120 or so which most people type at, having typing ec

The nuance voices are very responsive when typing. Personally I think Alex is fine when typing, at least in my case. You might check out the Infovox voices from Acapela, though I think their responsiveness is similar. Original message: Hello, I have noticed that typing very quickly on my Mac

I have no typing echo as Alex was never able to keep up with me. I normally type so fast that no synth can fully pronounce the characters I type as I type them, so I see little point int leaving echo on. Alex, though, always seemed a bit slow to respond. I now use Serena and find her much more r
