I realize my content changed. The second message was an attempt to
clarify what was written first. When I said the voices were part of
voiceover, for some reason, a 3rd party voice producer was thrown in
the mix. I have no idea why, since I had said nothing about thhis
3rd party in my message. I'm puzzled why this is, but there it is.
I never claimed the apple voices had been changed, I was merely
pointing out that voice over has more parts to it than just the voice
over utility we can see in the applications folder. I would expect
people to draw comparable conclusions as to just how many parts there
might be in voiceover, and realize that there are pieces we cannot
and likely will never see or know about. I cannot give an exhaustive
list, since I am not part of apple (not for lack of trying) and even
if I could, a lot of it I'm sure would make absolutely no sense to
those on the list who are not programmers. I apologize for any
confusion, I was merely trying to plant the idea that vo has many
parts, and we are not likely to see any and all changes that are made
to voiceover if the changes are in one of the pieces that don't
directly impact our vo experience.

Just one thing here. You have suttly changed the original content
of what you said. In your original post, you said:
Don't forget, vo isn't just the application, it's also the speech
server, the universal access utility, the various voices, and so on.
In this post, you said:
voiceover isn't just the vo utility used to set yoour
configuration items. It's the speech server, the *apple* voices,
and even changes in the os and/or
And so on. Now, much of what you said I agree with completely.
Particularly your points regarding squashing bugs, and your
comments on JFW. I for one don't, and won't ever use that
application on my Windows boxes. But that's not really important.
As far as I am aware, and I will happily stand corrected if my
information is incorrect, the Apple voices haven't been changed in
many years. I am not, of course, in a position to know whether
internal modules relating to VO have been changed. And the only
differences I see between what I had until yesterday and what I
have now are negative ones I am afraid. However like others I see
no documentation anywhere indicating that VO has changed at the
high level. One would have expected that if it had.

Hmm, if you could kindly point out where I said anything about 3rd
party voices being upgraded being considered as part of voiceover,
I'd sure like to see it. What I said was that
