Hello Rafael,
Yes, you can get Spanish voices for VisioVoice. You have a choice
between Castilian or South American. You can listen to the voices
and get a 30=day trial of them, as well as a 15-day trial of
VisioVoice, from

Cheers,

Hi Anne,
Your finding that safari 3 was horrible in Tiger sure explains a lot.
I do not currently work in other languages, although I would like
to explore the possibility of reading and writing in Spanish on
the Mac at some point. Does VisioVoice read spanish?

Hello Rafael,
I found the beta of Safari 3 horrible in Tiger but I'm having
very little trouble in Leopard.
As for my suggestions, Speak Selected Text works better on Intel
Macs than on Power PCs, although it is still a bit erratic even
on my MacBook. If you have VisioVoice, the Control-Shift-c
command always works for reading the whole web page. If you ever
work in a language other than English, VisioVoice would be an
immense help to you.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Anne,
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't know if you've had a chance
to read my other e-mails regarding Safari, but I've never had
trouble navigating web pages with Safari 2. It's only since I
upgraded to Safari 3 that I've encountered navigational
problems. In particular, I find that (a) the cursors go to
different places, even though I have cursor preferences set in
VO utilities so that the keyboard focus and mouse cursor will
follow the VO cursor and (b) VO skips some of the content when I
use the left and right arrows to navigate. I find perplexing
that these problems should have begun after I updated to Safari
3. I am using an iBook g4, which is a power pc machine, so maybe
that has something to do with the problem.
Anyway, I appreciate your suggestions.
Cordially,
Rafael

Hello Rafael,
I've had a look at npr.org and it is a busy site. Have you
tried reading the whole page by positioning yourself on "HTML
Content" and then pressing whatever hotkey you've set for
"Speak Selected Text".
Once the page has been read to you, you can select links by
pressing VO-u to get the Link Chooser Menu, or items by using
the Item Chooser Menu (VO-i).
The Link Chooser Menu gave me 265 links. To select a link, type
a few letters of the name of the link you want, then press
Return. You will be on the link. The same applies to the Item
Chooser Menu.
With Grouping turned on, lock the VO keys (VO-Semi-colon) and
use down arrow to read through an article paragraph by paragraph.
Don't forget to unlock VO keys when you're done.
Cheers,
Anne
