Hi Dave. The command to record is control+R. To answer your second question, no, there isn't a way to silence the speech quickly. I think they broke that command for mac. I know, it's annoying, especially when I turn off Voiceover. Shawn Sent from my white Mac Book On 2013-01-14, at 9:32 PM, ma

Hi Steve. You don't have to have the voices change pitch or say cap. The way I got it set since I'm currently using Cereproc Sarah, (which has become my favorite female voice because she's the only female voice that takes breaths,) since she can't do pitch changes, I have VO beep when it encount

I'm not complaining. I love Blindy.tv. Out here in Canada, we only get one descriptive video channel, AMI, channel 888 over here and the content that it has doesn't interest me much. With blindy.tv, I can listen to the Simpsons while I'm playing RS Games thanks to them adding all 5 of their stre

So Karen, do you also think the staff at RS Games are a bunch of thieves? Because as I said in my previous post about this subject, they're allowing people to listen to every channel of blindy.tv. Maybe you should bitch and say the same thing to them. I'd love to hear their reply. The point is,

2013-01-27 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey Devin. The options you have for TTS are the default Mac voices, the Nuance voices which as you know you can download, Cepstral which I don't recommend because they crash Voiceover, Acapela which in my opinion is going downhill because the voices don't sound as natural as they used to, and th

In my opinion, Will sounds too much like Neospeech Paul, very robotic and bored. I used to like Heather and Ryan but it seems like Acapela has taken away the things that made me like them, such as their inflections in their voices and you can hear them take breaths once in a while. I prefer Sara

Hi Chris. You won't find anything for the Mac on Acapela's website. The website that manufactures the Mac version of the Acapela voices is www.assistiveware.com. There you can download the Infovox Ivox client and buy the voices that way. HTH. Shawn Sent from my white Mac Book -- You received

Hi everyone. Oops, my bad. In the Applevis article about IOS 6.1, it says that the sounds playing is a feature and not a bug. You can view all the new features and fixes for Voiceover here: http://www.applevis.com/blog/advocacy/ios-61-accessibility-bug-list-fixed-not-fixed-and-new-bugs HTH. Shaw
