Hi Guys:
I think we've sort of lost track of our purpose here in favor of a chat about
costs. This really doesn't have anything to do with accessibility or
voiceover. But, rather to speculation.
Please close the thread down now.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Seems like Samantha's gotten a little face lift (or higher nitrate.:)

I believe you can do this with pages, and possibly with Stanza, though someone
with more experience can verify this. I have a related question:
If someone sends a mail attachmentthat appears as pdf images, and I don't have

Hi Erik:
I like Samantha ok if she's fancied up enough. But, I agree. Wonder who has
the patent on eloquence? Even the old Dectalk voice would be preferable to
some of the nonsense that's in snowleopard now, (excluding Alex, of course.)
I wonder if there's any point in giving feedback to acce

I didn't catch the dectalk in your message because Alex spelled out the first
half. But, I'm glad to know who owns those voices.:)

Hi Matt:
Ok, I'm definitely outdated, because I was picturing the old ductal express
voices from the 90's and what they would be like on a Mac. I believe those
voices are still used by Noaa all hazards radio, which is available as an
iPhone app.

Quite honestly, I can hear the guys better, I mean, the guy voices.:) But,
then again, it may be selective hearing. The women voices almost always seem
too soft, though the Samantha demo was pretty good quality.

I believe the batteries in the iDevices are such that they do not overcharge.
It's probably a good idea to run the battery down to around 5 per cent on

thumbs that can text well either.:)
