Hi there,
I am recently a windows migrant to the OSX environment and had just a few
queries in regards to voiceover and general macintosh applications and features:
1. Under the windows environment, the system tray provides application's main
windows to be closed and the process still perpetuates with certain statistical
information shown. Does Mac possess such a feature? As such applets as Skype,
Adium, et cetera would be a lot more manageable in such a fashion.
2. When I was setting voice announcements to occur on certain skype events, it
did not allow for such a modification as voice and rate. Which voice would I be
looking at - under voiceover utility - to effect such changes?
3. Would it be possible for someone to detail the different uses of the
voiceover voices listed under the speech tab of the voiceover utility?
4. I was told by a VO user that it is possible to enable voiceover to read the
time every hour. Where would such a preference reside? And is there a voiceover
command to read the time without having to go into the status menues?
5. Finally, I have discovered such utilities as open office, transmition, vlc
media player, fetch, adium, skype and fusion; are there any other essential
applications that experienced voiceover users could suggest that I have -
either for necessity or simply usefulness - and also if there are any resources
around for learning apple script to develop new applications for voiceover use.
Cheers
