In fact, if the demo is using the best that VoiceOver has to offer, then it has a long way to go to catch up to the software synths that are out there in other operating systems.

Subject: Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review the speech is way better than any synth out there. i've used macs since 92 and although the first couple of vertions of the old screen reader of mac had a robotic voice. the plaintalk voices (witch are the voice for voice over) are the best quality voices out there. and get this, i've ben talking litterally to my mac since 96 asking it the time, asking it to do this or that and with supurb voice quality feedback on top of that. /off topic post off Blind Tech website: http://www.users.qwest.net/~drjann/epyd/ contact info can be found on website email list: EPYD Radio-subscribe@yahoogroups.com EPYD the only place to be! ----- Original Message ----- From: "PETE gurney" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
