Hi Jean. To put it bluntly, you can't add another contact to a call with Skype on the iPhone. I suggest to anyone that wants this feature implemented to bug the Skype team because we should be able to do it on both our computers and our iPhones. I would be one of those people to do it but I can'

Hi Kimberly and Stacy. I don't know about the 2009 white MacBooks but mine is a mid 2010 model and Mountain Lion works with no problems. I'll also be getting Mavericks when it comes out and that'll be most likely my third and final upgrade unless OS XI is supported. As for Lion, since the releas

Hey. I was wondering if anybody has ran into this bug with Adium where it shows your Facebook contacts as numbers. An example of this would be something like 123456...@chat.facebook.com. If anyone has, have you reported this to the Adium team? I know that the previous ticket with this issue got

Hi Jodie. There's not really a setting to get the MacBook to use Voiceover, all you do is use the keystroke Command+F5 and there you go. Shawn Sent From My White MacBook -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To unsubscribe from th

Hi Traci. Yes, I also think Lisa is cool. I went ahead and bought her for the 4 voice credits it requires so I have her forever. I showed her to a friend and we're both amazed at how well she emphasizes words if you put an exclamation beside them. I think she does more words like that than the o

Hi everyone. I've been meaning to send this out to you guys but I was catching up on around 85 emails so here goes. I have an explanation of why the old Norweigion voice that people are used to is no longer used. I actually read this on the Viphone list and I wanted to inform you as well. The re

Hi Jurgen. Yes, you can still use HQ voices with iOS7. Simply go to settings, general, accessibility, Voiceover, and in the language roter double tap on use HQ voice or something like that. I also found that you don't have to plug in your iOS device in order to download the voices and more than

Hi Jurgen. I don't have an iPad that can be updated to iOS7 but I don't think it should matter. The method I gave to turn on the HQ voices should work. Did you also turn off Use Compact Voice? Shawn Sent From My White MacBook -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goog

Hi Devin. The only reason why RS Games is now self-voiced is because they were having too many problems with it working with Voiceover. I do hope that Office accessibility does come to the Mac. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. T

Hey everyone. The Nuance voices are tolerable, but I wouldn't use them all the time. As for Acapela, I've lost interest of them because their voices, as I've said, don't sound as good as they used to. They took away too much from the voices. I like how I was able to get someone on here hooked on

Hey it's me again, I forgot one thing. Alex and Mary, I found out that if you have a copy of Snow Leopard, you can copy the better-sounding Alex voice and use it on Mountain Lion. I recently downgraded because I only had Fusion 3 but had to upgrade again to ML because I had too much problems wit

Well, I do like some of the voices from Cereproc, specifically Jack, Sarah, Katherine and Nathan. Although I don't know if they've released an update to them, there are some bugs with them, such as repeating sentences over and over and word echo doesn't work either. If you'd like to hear samples

Samantha in Yosemite is Samantha in any OS. Haven't noticed any changes to her voice. It seems the only voice to make a little more human sounding is the Australian Karen voice. Although I don't know if this is still present in Yosemite 10.2 but the Nuance voices were very laggy. Shawn Sent Fr

Yes. I agree that *some* voices from Infovox are good. Mostly Ryan, Tracy, Lisa, Rod, Grahem and Lucy. That's pretty much it. All of the others sound very robotic to my ears and I have great ears, especially Tyler who is Australian as well as Lisa, and their new Scotish voice Rhona. As I said e

Hi Mike. Great to see you finally upgrade to Yosemite. Yeah, I wouldn't have flash player on here either but I watch a lot of live TV online and I haven't found a website that doesn't use flash. I don't have cable so this is the only way I'm able to watch TV. I'd still like to know of a website

Hi guys. I'm a little confused here. Today I got an email with a link stating that Samsung's lawsuit against Apple for Voiceover was overturned. Now I don't know what to believe, is it overturned like this link says or is it stayed like the rest of the internet says it is. Here's the link. http:
