A while back, I wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with a suggestion
for a spoken warning on time announcement. Perhaps a five or ten-
second warning to announce that reading will be temporarily
interrupted and when the time is announced, the reading will continue
where it was left off at the time of announcement, and the user doen't
have to input anything to resume reading. On an unrelated matter,I
suggested another option be given in Mail, where spoken prompts to
notify the user of new mail coming in. I got a response saying that
it will be considered. Richie Gardenhire, anchorage, Alaska.

Is that true also if you set a different voice for the time? I set
Kathy for that function. So if Alex is talking, will Kathy just
talk also at the same time? Or will Alex stop so Kathy can talk.
Or if Alex is talking, will Kathy not be heard saying the time at all?
I guess I'm going to find out in about 4 minutes!
Thanks for this info, by the way. I never knew about it. handy
little item to know.

What do you mean if you're lucky enough to have a friend who does
not use VO? I can set these options with VO active.
-Or are you saying that VO will interrupt the time when it's
spoken?…
