And also as I pointed out, each person has to make that choice for themselves. For somebody with limited use of their hands, siri may be a God send. For somebody who doesn't do much web browsing or have many contacts, siri might not be any big deal. I can't even say for certainty that I will

I've heard from several people that VoiceOver users won't be able to get much out of IOS 7 because it's focus is on the visual aspect. Although that is a focus, there seems to be a lot in IOS 7 that we'll be able to take advantage of. In fact, when I look at http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

Adding a FaceTime contact to Favorites?

2013-09-12 Thread Chris H
Good evening all. Subject says it all. How if possible is this done? I went to phone, favorites, add, chose a contact, but no FaceTime option was there yet they have it. The contact I do have is their mobile; will this account for both cellular and FaceTime? Any responses greatly appreciated.

I had thought of an Android phone but if you look at how many viruses are out there for the open source Android verses iPhone, there isn't any competition. It's iPhone all the way. And with the 5C starting at 99 bucks, it's a no brainer now too. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in

According to yesterdays presentation, he said we have created a new voice for siri and then let us hear a short bit of speech from both voices. They did not sound like any I have heard before so I can only assume they are totally new. We'll have until at least next weekend to find out when

I think we would be able to take advantage of the new voices. I would assume that Siri and VoiceOver are using the same voices on the phone. To cut down on space, Apple may only allow one high quality voice on the phone at a time. On 09/12/2013 04:06 PM, Chris H wrote: I don't think so as

Maybe you are correct, but do you really think the new male voice would take up much more space than the current premium voices? I'm not so sure it would in fact I would think that storing the voice server side would present some major issues. Best regards, Rick Alfaro -Original

I don't think so as surely it will take up a lot of storage compared to the voices we have now. I suspect the new voices will be used wherever Siri is located server wise. On 12/09/2013 21:52, Rick Alfaro wrote: Any idea if that new male voice will also be available for use with VO? I would
