Hi there! Thanks to Chris's suggestion on this list, I simply went back to Growl version 1.22F or whatever it was called. It's the last version that put growl in system preferences. Anyway, I only stopped using that because I somehow got the impression that it didn't work with lion. Well, to make

Hi there! I actually tried Hiss, but it didn't work for me. it just popped up an empty window at startup, and then didn't do much of anything. I ended up going back to growl 1.22F, or whatever that last version was that ran in system preferences. It does exactly what I need it to do, so my thinki

These voices are fantastic! I still use Alex in Vo, but I use Infovox Tracy for my system voice/growl notifications. I have all of the English speaking infovox voices, and really like them. Some of them have some weird pronunciation issues, but then again, what tts voice doesn't have that problem

2012-08-10 Thread Missy Hoppe
You should be able to go to where you set up the system voice. In lion or earlier, it's under system preferences and then speech, and in Mountain lion, it's system preferences and then dictation and speech. Anyway, you can ajust the rate there. I bumped mine up to about 70 percent, and it's prett
