When I was experiencing the choppiness with Alex and Eve it was 60%. I am not having the choppiness issue with Samantha at 60%. Thanks for letting me know that you are not having the problem with only 4GB of RAM as that is what I have also. On Jan 8, 2014, at 8:59 AM, Daniel Hawkins wrote: >

Hi, While I agree with Terje that the SSD HD does amazing things for your computer performance, I only have a spinning HD in my MBP and don’t experience the choppiness with VO. I don’t experience it with my 2009 iMac running OS Server either, which has a spinning HD as well. In both cases, my

I have 4gb or RAM and a hard drive. I’m am not experiencing the stuttering problem. I wonder what is your voice speed? Mine is at 40 and I’m using Alex, the only voice i can understand. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in. Macbook Pro 2.3 Quad-core i7 4GB DDR3 500GB HDD Dual B

I am just guessing here. I believe the ones who experience choppiness have one common hardware. The spinning hard drive. Those who have an ssd hard drive do not experience this. SSD is the best uppgrade in the computer world since 2005. Make the computer load programs much faster and read/worite

Hey Tim, Yes, you are most likely right, patience patience patience, as my Mac Air which has 8 GB of RAM and pretty much nothing stored on it runs very well, so maybe the iMac is still doing stuff as some of my voices have even crapped out. I was using Samantha for a couple of hours and all of

Hi Brian, You may also notice that your performance in Mavericks improves over time. There is quite a bit of background things going on after the initial installation, especially in Mail that can cause your choppiness. Upgrading to 8 GB of RAM or more will improve things for sure though. Lat

Hey all, I changed the voice as I was using Eve and Alex where I noticed the most choppiness. I forget what voice I am using now, but the choppiness seems to have died down a lot. Strange. Really loving Mavericks for the most part not sure what it is, if I set some things different in verbosity

Hello all, Not choppy for me. But I do know when I look into a long thread in mail, it would skip mail. Say for example like this thread, I’d would scroll down and see one mail, then we I go back one it will name several that I skipped. It can get frustrating. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Ma

Thanks Alex. Not sure yet as I just got Mavericks installed, but will check it out in other areas besides mail. I noticed it a little on my laptop but not as bad as on my 2010 iMac. On Jan 7, 2014, at 7:09 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > VO is choppy for me every so often, and arrowing along is sometime

VO is choppy for me every so often, and arrowing along is sometimes part of that, yes. However, I can't say I've paid enough attention to notice if the choppiness only happens when arrowing, but I'll watch for it. Does this happen when arrowing anywhere, like in a wordprocessor, or just in Mail?

Hey all, Curious if anyone has noticed this, as I find VO is very choppy in Mavericks when reading mail with VO and use the arrows to go through a message, however if I use VO A to read all VO is not choppy. Sometimes I like to just use the arrows to quickly go through a message, and have notic
