This is what I was posting about yesterday in another thread. The solution is in Accessibility, Speech, where you set the system voice. I played with this for some time and still, even with Samantha speaking, I hear variations in the speaking rate when certain elements are spoken. I will

I know. I guess I just got used to alex doing it. it seems subtler than when Moira does it. I love this voice, but I can’t abide by it doing that. I want my voices the same through the whole computer experience. alia > On Oct 26, 2022, at 10:49 AM, Herbie Allen wrote: > > It’s something with a

In Australia we use day month year. It can be written in many ways. The most formal way is for the number for the day, the month written in full or abbreviated words, and then the year as a two or four digit number (e.g. 12 November 2013—that's the most formal way). It's more common to be writt

Lol, right! I’m not sure what to do. I tried letting it read numbers instead of words, but I hated that. I think if I change my region I could have other problems, but not sure how bad they would be? Alia On Nov 12, 2013, at 2:59 AM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: > Why don't you Americans star

So just out of curiosity, what does the Australian date format look like? Americans use month month dash day day dash year year, as far as I'm aware. In our country, which is the Netherlands in Europe, we use day day slash month month slash year year. Because my computer is always set to language

Why don't you Americans start writing your dates the right way around then you wouldn't have any problem. ;) Seriously though, changing the date format in system preferences might solve some of your problems. If Mail displayed the received/sent date in the Australian format, then Karen would re

That’s kind of what I thought. It says mail I got two days ago is october 11 since it is reading the 9 as october and the 11 which should be november as the day of the week instead. Alia On Nov 11, 2013, at 10:55 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > I don’t think that is the problem. Most Nuance voices do

I don’t think that is the problem. Most Nuance voices do their own date formatting whenever they think they need to, which gets very annoying. Not only are dates formatted differently for different regions, but often the date formatting is inappropriate. For instance, I currently have Dropbox 2.

Hi! Under Language and text in System pref's there are options to change date and time formats! If by some chance the region has been changed then maybe putting it back to US might solve it! If the region is OK there is customise dates or time! How they work with VO I do not know! HTH Colin On 1

Hi. Only just saw this, so sorry for the delay in replying. I'm guessing that you are talking about voices on the iphone? If so, then it's best to change the voice in the language section of general/accessibility/voiceover rather than in the date and time regional settings. So go to general, then a

Okay, I prefer the australian voice, but live in the U.S. I have a probem though. the voice reads dates wrong now. Is there a way to get a U.S. reading on dates using a non U.S. voice? Alia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries"
