Hi listers,

The one that misspronaunced emailaddresses and url's.
Well those are fixed in ml for the english or french voices.

Hi Nick. It’s true that the Nuance voices still say capital before the capital
letter. It also says that on the iPhone.

With the exception of Alex, doesn't it still say the word "capital" before each
letter even with beeps turned on? Whether pitch change or beeps I don't mind, I
just don't like it saying "capital" each time as that three syllable word
before each one syllable letter is horribly verbose and slow.
Nick, what I’ve done for all the voices, including Alex and the Vocalizer
Expressive voices, instead of having it change pitch for capital letters, I
have it beep for capital letters. I prefer this behavior because the pitch
changes are freaky.

HI Traci,
By default, Alex should just change pitch when reading a capital letter but
should not say the word "capital". This makes reading all caps much easier as
you don't get all the unnecessary extra words. The other voices, however, will
say "capital" and change pitch as well, which is unne

No, I don’t think there are new Australian voices. No, that capital letter
oddity is still present, at least in Ava.

Two questions:
1. Are there any new Australian English voices?
2. Do the new voices read out capital letters properly, as does Alex, or do
they announce both "capital" and change pitch?

No torrents are not illegal themselves. It should depend on what is referenced

These sound very good. Is there an option to purchase more than one voice at a

Hi Chris. Yes, torrents are illegal, but as they say in wrestling, it's only
illegal if you get caught, and the law is too concerned about other things to
deal with people downloading software or movies. I shouldn't say anymore but

Hi Chris. Unfortunately, at this time, Apple has restricted third-party
developers from making voices for IOS. You can get apps that have the voices in
them, but as of right now, they're restricted to that app. I know, it's stupid.
